This article is characterized as a case study carried out in a pharmacy located in the city of
Araguaína/TO, where it was observed how the inventory management process was carried out
in that organization. In this context, this work aims to optimize the management of
pharmaceutical stocks through the use of the ABC curve tool. The collected data were
analyzed using the Microsoft Excel tool, first classifying the sample by the total financial
volume of sales, in descending order, and then analyzing which drugs comprised each
classification level. The ABC classification made it possible to identify, among the drugs,
those that bring the most profitability to the company and, with this, the increased
responsibility for these items so that they do not miss out, generating risk to the financial
balance and causing the withdrawal of its customers. It is concluded that the ABC
classification model applied to the inventory management of the pharmacy helps in the
control of the stocked quantities, categorizing the most relevant products for management and
enabling means to program inventory reduction policies.
