DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTER BASED DRUG PURCHASING SYSTEM FOR A PHARMACEUTICAL ORGANISATION

ABSTRACT

The research was conducted mainly to examine the positive and negatives effects of not making good use of computer based drug purchasing system in the business administration of an organization. For effective research on this topic the drug purchasing system. Both primary and secondary data were used to elicit information from sample studied, the primary source of data were response form the personal interview which secondary source form textbook on business management and administration and periodicals. Computer based drug purchasing system for a pharmaceutical organisation is used to record pharmaceutical product. The available products are shown on the system for their client to view and make demand for their choice. This project is written to help Pharmaceuticals Companies especially Juhel Pharmaceuticals ltd Enugu in the areas they encounter problems in keeping their record and the solution given to tackle those problem.
