Abstract

INTRODUCTION: In Ecuador, inventories are fundamental to satisfy operations and to obtain higher profits, better management, and planning. For this reason, this study aims to implement an inventory control system in the pharmaceutical technology laboratory because the manual handling of the inventory prevented its correct control and the development of other activities.

OBJECTIVE: To implement an inventory control system in the pharmaceutical technology laboratory of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry of the Catholic University of Cuenca.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The design of this research is qualitative. The descriptive method was used; the information utilized for the development is based on a manual inventory of the laboratory staff.

RESULTS: The inventory control system is beneficial for the automation of the stock, which will help to analyze the procedures and regulations to be followed to obtain improvements.

CONCLUSION: Implementing f an inventory control system is an essential step to optimize processes and improve the laboratory environment; it is through monitoring and management that the timely availability of resources can be ensured.
