The Effect Of Digitalization Of Inventory System On Improving Material Management Efficiency In Research And Development Department PT XYZ Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical industry in Indonesia currently faces two challenges, which are the implementation of National Health Insurance and the trend of digitalization of e-Catalogs. Providing affordable medicines for the community at prices set by the government is a challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. Companies should produce drugs with the most efficient costs and processes. R&D Department in the pharmaceutical industry is a center for research and development of drug products. The challenge of pharmaceutical industry leads to the increment of R&D activity that is directly related to supply chain activities, especially in the Raw Material Warehouse. Digitalization of documentation process in the R&D Raw Material Warehouse is conducted to increase the efficiency of the material management process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the condition of Material Management process before and after digitalization, and to occur which variable has the most significant impact after digitalization. This research conducted using two methods: measuring process time of adjustment stock and tracing quantity material, and descriptive calculation of expired material cost and labor cost during reporting stock opname. From the results of the study, Positive Adjustment Stock process time decreased up to 25.6% and Negative Adjustment Stock process time decreased up to 30.2% after digitalization. However, Tracing Quantity Material process time increased 36.7% compared to before digitalization. Expired Material Cost decreased to 35.6% in 2024. The Stock Opname reporting process time decreased 96.4% after digitalization. So, it can be concluded that digitalization of inventory system in R&D Raw Material Warehouse had significantly impact for efficiency of Material Management process with Stock Opname reporting process is the variable that has the most significant impact after digitalization.
