From the application of the proposed system to the product with the highest demand, it was obtained that when applying the economic order quantity, taking into account a projected demand of 195 units of azithromycin tab-recx500mgx5 lste, after the corresponding analysis, it was determined that the Narvaez pharmacy and Quito must request 127 units, 2 times per semester, with a time between orders of 90 days, when its stock reaches 3 units, allowing to know the quantity, time and stock necessary when carrying out a new order.
