ABSTRACT
This project is written to help Pharmaceuticals
Companies especially Jahel Pharmaceuticals ltd Enugu in the areas they
encounter problems in keeping their record and the solution given to tackle
those problem.
The research was carried out of many difficulties such as time factors, money and inability to get much information that could have been of help. But still with all those the researcher came up with something readable and valuable to any body that goes through it.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
The role information technology have played in various field of human endeavors can not be over emphasized. As most section of humanity like banking industries, auto mobile industries etc have experience the influenced of information technology like wise in pharmaceutical industries.
Usage of Information
Technology (IT) remained comparatively very less in Health sector than other
sectors despite having more potential. Health Institutions, which is important
sector, should encourage IT usage resulting better productivity, effectiveness,
efficiency and economics leading to better health care to all. This paper tells
a success story of implementation of ICT in monitoring of medicine in health
Institutions such as Jahel Pharmaceutical LTD implemented by National
Informatics Centre, Enugu State Centre for Directorate of Health Services, Enugu.
System works on low-end resources and E-mail based data transfer from District
Hard Quarter to State Head Quarter. Implementation of Med-Centre in all the
districts of Enugu results in check on pilferage of medicine, increase in
availability of medicine at Government Institution, increase in attendance of
patient/doctors in health institution, optimal utilization of medicine and data
capturing at source, resulting in availability of error-free data at State Head
quarter
The
present invention relates to a product monitoring system for
monitoring, or keeping track of, various types of products. The invention is
particularly useful in merchandising of products and also in inventory control
of products, and is therefore described below particularly with respect to such
applications.
In the common retail store, consumers remove products from the shelves, place
them in their shopping carts, and present them at a point of sale (POS) for
identification, price calculation and payment. To identify each purchased
product, the products are usually labeled with a universal product code (UPC,
or “bar-code”) readable by a scanner connected to the POS. Scanning
is done by a cashier holding each product to expose its UPC to the scanner. The
labor cost and the line waiting time in such systems have prompted the
introduction of a commercial self-scanning system, wherein the shopper uses a
handheld scanner to scan the UPC of each item placed in his shopping cart. The
handheld scanner includes a display, a copy
of the updated price database, and a calculating unit, enabling the shopper to
update the information regarding the cart’s contents. Items whose UPC cannot be
read by the scanner (which is quite common) are presented at the POS for
re-scanning. Random re-scanning of the entire cart contents deter shoppers from
dishonest behavior.
Also
known are electronic shelf label systems, in which the store’s central computer
downloads price information to electronic shelf labels placed near merchandise
items.
Also known are systems for counting items displayed on the shelves, as part of
routine inventory control or order management, in which a handheld portable
unit is used to either scan or key-in the product’s code and then key-in count
information. Such information is downloaded later into the store computer
through a terminal at the store office.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Pharmaceutical
Industry, that section of industry which manufactures medicinal chemicals and
prepares them for use in the prevention or treatment of disease. Some companies
engaged in this business manufacture pharmaceutical chemicals in bulk (primary
manufacture), but all of them prepare them for medical use by methods known
collectively as secondary manufacture. These highly automated processes include
the production of drugs in single-dose forms, such as tablets, capsules, or
sachets for oral administration, solutions for injection, and pessaries and
suppositories for insertion into the vagina or rectum respectively.
Immunization:
An enormous part of the pharmaceutical industry’s output consists of vaccines.
This girl is pictured receiving an immunization before the start of the school
year. Almost all schools in developed countries require that students receive a
number of immunizations before beginning classes. Most vaccines are applied
through injections, although some are taken orally, most notably the Sabin
polio vaccine developed in the mid-1950s. Immunizations protect the body by
either helping it to create new antibodies by presenting part or whole of the
disease-causing agent to the person’s immune system—a long-term approach—or by
providing it with active antibodies, a more temporary solution.Photo

Other
preparations include liquids such as linctuses and syrups to be taken by mouth,
inhalations in metered-dose aerosol sprays, drops for the nose, ears, or eyes,
and creams, ointments, lotions, and so on for application to the skin. Some
companies make anaesthetics, or contrast media used for visualizing body
structures by X-ray or nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR).
Many
pharmaceutical companies engage in research and development aimed at
introducing new and improved treatments. In some countries, each stage of the
trial of new medicines involving domestic, farm, or laboratory animals, or
human beings, is subject to approval by national licensing authorities. If
finally approved, a licence for a new medicine’s use in stated conditions will
be issued. In some other countries permission to market may be granted on sight
of the licence from the country of origin.
Patent
coverage for recently developed or modified medicines is usually granted by
most countries for periods averaging 15 years from the licence date. Companies
give their innovations brand names, which remain their unique property. Each
new drug is also given an official generic name, which remains common property.
After patent expiry products may be made and sold under these generic names by
any company that can meet the licensing body’s standards.
Most
pharmaceutical companies operate internationally and own subsidiaries of
various sizes in many countries. The old companies originated from, and have
their headquarters in, either the United States, Switzerland, or a member
country of the European Union. This technologically advanced industry employs
many graduates, including biologists, biochemists, chemists, engineers,
microbiologists, nurses, pharmacologists, doctors, physicists, and veterinary
surgeons. They are employed in research and development (R & D),
manufacturing, quality control, marketing, medical representation, public
affairs, or general administration.
- STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
This has to do with the title of the project, which is
the design, and implementation of a computerized Pharmacy management system for
a manufacturing industry.
Due to the problem encountered with the inventory control of a pharmaceutical industries, the need arise to develop a software that will assist to solve the problem. The problem caused by the use of manual method can only be solved by computerizing the inventory processing.
