Inventory management in the healthcare industry is of prime importance to ensure the appropriate delivery of the medical and health products to the final customer in a reasonable time without shortage or overstocking of the goods. The achievement of this balance, in turn, is dependent on the production of the product in a timely manner through dynamic control of the inventory mobility of the input materials in the warehouse. In the present study, eight raw materials, which are used as excipients in healthcare products, were selected as a focus research group for analysis using statistical process control (SPC: process-behavior (trending/control) charts, Pareto plots, Box plot diagrams and Pie illustrations), namely Macrogolglycerides, MCC, Sodium Benzoic Sulfimide, Carmellose Sodium, Isofol 20, Citric Acid Hydrate, Ace K and Sodium Hydrate. Inventory autonomous management network was integrated with SPC software (Minitab®v17.1.0) using the generated database. A unique and simple index was created to prioritize and evaluate each material quantitatively based on material mass, rejection factor, deliveries intervals and the lag time before disposition. Isofol 20 and MCC contributed by about 70% as a material risk weight (MRW). This index is useful for objective comparative analysis, measurement of the degree of changes quantitatively and decision-making.
