Stock management in health enterprises is important for the effective delivery of health services. In particular, with the increasing uncertainty in extraordinary periods such as pandemics, the supply, storage and use of stocks becomes even more important. The aim of this study to classify the stock expenditures of medical consumables used in a public hospital under the uncertainties brought by the pandemic process, using stock control techniques ABC, VED, and ABC-VED Matrix and to determine the most appropriate method for effective stock management. In the study, the medical consumables used by the hospital in Covid-19 services in 2020 were classified according to the cost criteria with ABC analysis, and according to the important criterion for patient life with VED analysis. With the ABC-VED matrix method, both criteria were considered together and medical consumables were divided into 3 categories. The amount of material in Category I that must be subject to strict stock control is 579,491.98 TL (79.96%) The amount of material in category II that must be subject to medium stock control is 126,476.92 TL (17.45%), and the amount of material in category III that must be subject to low stock control is 18,781.46 TL (2.59%). As a result of the study, it has been suggested to use the ABC-VED matrix method, in which both criteria are evaluated together, instead of considering only the cost or vitality criteria for effective stock management during the pandemic period when the cost and importance levels of the consumables used to change.
