NAME: KISAKYE DENIS

REGNO: 23/269BIT/U

TOPIC: COMPUTERIZED PHARMACY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO MINIMIZE


INEFFECTIVE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The current mode of managing a pharmacy inventory involves manual entry upon arrival
of new batches of drugs and upon drug movement out of the pharmacy for a certain period.
Currently, manual system is being utilized in many pharmacies i.e. It requires that the pharmacist
manually monitor each drug that is available in the pharmacy. This usually leads to mistakes as
the workload of the pharmacist increases. Meanwhile the pharmacist has to ensure satisfaction in
services to keep their customers.

The factors mentioned above, results in delay of the services being rendered to the
customers, thereby putting down sales and increased risk of losing valuable customers in the long
run. Managing a very large pharmacy with records on papers will be tedious and difficult to keep
track of inventories with regards to the drugs in the store, expiry date, quantity of drugs available
based on the categories and their functions.

The pharmacist has to order drugs to replenish the already diminishing stock. In addition,
ordering of drugs is being carried out manually. Significant amount of time is allocated for writing
the order as the pharmacist needs to go through the stock balance and make rough estimate of the
quantity to order based on figures. The application will provide quick access to the records
maintained and must reveal the important reviews about the business so that the growth can be
easily compared and will provide the various reports showing the related details that the important
decisions could be taken easily.

The following are among the problems that lead to the creation and development of
Pharmacy Management System Software.

➢ There is no effective way of managing of information


➢ It is hard to determine stock balance.

➢ Preparation of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly reports is hard and time
consuming.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The main aim of this project is to develop software product for effective management of a
Pharmaceutical store.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE

➢ To study and investigate into existing literature related to computerized pharmacy


management system in an effort to increase day to day stock and sales management process
and increase availability of customer requirements.
➢ To develop solution that manages Pharmacy-related work.
➢ To design a stock and sales history tracking and analyzing system which can provide
insight based on stock counts and sales.
➢ To propose the implementation and use of a computerized Pharmacy management system.
➢ To test design of a solution that can speed up day to day operations and work of the
pharmacist.

MOTIVATION FOR UNDERTAKING THE PROJECT

The motivation for undertaking the project of developing a pharmacy management system
stems from the need to address the inefficiencies and challenges faced by pharmacies in managing
their operations.

As final year information technology student, the project represents an opportunity to apply
my knowledge and skills in creating a solution that can make a significant impact in the healthcare
industry. Pharmacies are a critical component of the healthcare system, providing essential
services to patients and playing a key role in ensuring safe and effective use of medications. The
development of a pharmacy management system represents an opportunity to address these
challenges by providing pharmacies with a comprehensive tool to manage their operations. This
system will enable pharmacies operate more efficiently and effectively, ultimately leading to better
patient outcomes.
