Despite the undeniable contribution of the computerized inventory management in hospital pharmacy and the increasing performance of storage facilities, the practice has revealed several shortcomings and difficulties in terms of stock management. The aim of this work is to suggest two organizational approaches that result from a long experience over five phases, which benefited from the commitment of our hospital top management. It’s about the Address-Position Code (APC) and the Internal Customer-Supplier System (ICSS). These two approaches allow us optimizing stock management and securing pharmaceutical products while improving their availability for the benefit of their users. Thus, they could be applicable in other similar structures to master pharmaceutical products flow and stock management.
