Abstract

Efficient handling of perishable medication inventory is crucial for maintaining healthcare system operations. It prioritizes patient needs while also aiming to minimize costs and environmental impact. This study enhanced a production inventory model to address the distinct challenges like deterioration, preservation technology, and carbon emissions associated with perishable medications. With these considerations, a mathematical model has developed an optimal production inventory that balances cost efficiency with environmental sustainability. Finally, the sensitivity analysis and results validated the model's effectiveness across diverse scenarios.
