A presente dissertação analisa o impacto da implementação do sistema Best Order, uma solução automatizada baseada no modelo Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), na gestão de stocks em farmácias portuguesas. Num setor caracterizado por elevada complexidade logística, exigências regulatórias e forte pressão sobre margens comerciais, a gestão eficiente de inventário assume um papel estratégico na garantia da disponibilidade de produtos essenciais e na sustentabilidade económica das farmácias. Para avaliar os efeitos da adoção do sistema Best Order, foi desenvolvido um estudo quantitativo, baseado na aplicação de um questionário a uma amostra de farmácias que utilizam esta ferramenta.
A análise dos dados foi realizada com recurso a técnicas estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais, permitindo avaliar indicadores como a frequência de falhas de stock, o tempo despendido na sua gestão, a eficiência operacional percebida e o grau de satisfação com o serviço. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam melhorias significativas na eficiência da gestão de stocks, redução de falhas e aumento da satisfação dos utilizadores, confirmando as hipóteses formuladas. Adicionalmente, observou-se uma alteração na relação entre farmácias e distribuidores, com maior autonomia por parte das farmácias na gestão dos seus inventários.
Este estudo contribui para o aprofundamento do conhecimento sobre os benefícios e limitações dos sistemas automatizados de gestão de stocks no setor farmacêutico, oferecendo recomendações práticas para a sua implementação e otimização.
This dissertation examines the impact of implementing the Best Order system, an automated solution based on the Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) model, on inventory management in Portuguese pharmacies. In a sector marked by logistical complexity, regulatory constraints, and commercial pressure, efficient inventory management plays a strategic role in ensuring product availability and economic sustainability. To assess the effects of adopting the Best Order system, a quantitative study was conducted using a questionnaire distributed to a sample of pharmacies that use this tool. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, allowing the evaluation of indicators such as stockout frequency, time spent on inventory management, perceived operational efficiency, and user satisfaction. The findings reveal significant improvements in inventory management efficiency, reduced stockouts, and increased user satisfaction, validating the proposed hypotheses. Furthermore, a shift in the relationship between pharmacies and distributors was observed, with pharmacies gaining greater autonomy over their inventory control. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the benefits and limitations of automated inventory management systems in the pharmaceutical sector and offers practical recommendations for their implementation and optimization.
