Abstract

Material management is important and crucial for all healthcare industries because it not only deals with the
financial aspects but also deals with the well-being of the hospital and quality care of the patient. Reducing
inventory cost is a critical responsibility of healthcare managers in hospitals. Inventory management should
be done with the help of proper value analysis. This study attempts to assess the inventory techniques and
monthly maintenance figure which have contributed to efficient inventory management in a tertiary care
teaching hospital
