SAĞLIK SEKTÖRÜNDE ABC-VED AHP ve TOPSIS YÖNTEMLERİ KULLANILARAK ÇOK KRİTERLİ STOK SINIFLANDIRMASI

Health sector is one of the most important service sectors. The major part of the operating costs of the hospitals serving in the health sector is pharmaceutical expenses. In order for hospitals to provide better service, inventory control must be performed effectively. Identifying and managing medicines that are vital for patients is one of the main tasks of hospitals. There are various classifications for inventory control in health sector. The most known method for health sector is ABC-VED analysis which uses cost, demand and criticality as classification criteria. While many criteria including supplier criteria is used in inventory classification in other sectors, research using more than three criteria is limited in health sector. This research aims to conduct a multi criteria inventory classification in health sector using cost, demand, criticality, and supplier risk with ABC-VED, AHP and TOPSIS methods. Inventory classification is conducted by ABC-VED method using cost, demand and criticality criteria. In addition, the ABC-VED Matrix method was re-created by using AHP and TOPSIS methods by adding a new criteria regarding supplier risk. The results obtained by ABC-VED method and by ABC-VED, AHP and TOPSIS methods are compared.
