Safe Stock: study of input management considering the occupancy rate and minimum stock levels in hospitals with demand forecast

In this project, historical data on the use of inputs in hospitals will be used to forecast demand for the next period, taking into account the COVID-19 pandemic and the short-term effects it may have. Due in large part to the increase in demand, Bionexo, which offers technological solutions for the management of processes in the healthcare area, has already identified strong growth in demand and prices for some inputs, including alcohol gel, N95 masks and surgical masks . This recent price increase requires the intelligent maintenance of stock, so that there is also no shortage of supplies for hospitals. It is worth noting that the supply chain represents the second largest expense for hospitals, and that there may be a relocation between stocks of supplies from different hospitals served by Bionexo.
