ABSTRACT
The availability and selection of herbal raw material suppliers and
herbal product distributors is a critical factor in the production and marketing
activities of small traditional medicine businesses (UKOT) in Indonesia. An
internal information system containing a database of East Java suppliers
and distributors can support the guarantee of completeness and ease of
access to supplier and distributor data at UKOT PT X in Surabaya, East
Java. An interview with the Responsible Pharmacist (APJ) and
documentation on PT X's documents were used to collect data. Following
this, the final output of the data from the selected documentation is fed into
the database that has been built as part of PT X's internal information
system. The study was conducted on the internal database of PT X, and it
focused on the database's completeness, accuracy, and accessibility.
Users of UKOT PT X's internal database were asked to participate in the
evaluation as respondents. The responses to the questionnaire indicated
that PT X's database system was very complete in information about
distributors of finished products and suppliers of raw materials (including
herbal raw materials, excipients, and packaging). This conclusion was
reached by eighty percent of the data completeness assessment intervals.
All respondents correctly answered questions about data on suppliers and
distributors of finished products, which are presented in PT X's internal
information system database. In terms of data presentation, language, and
search feature functions, 93.33% of respondents agree that the database in
PT X's information system is very easy to access
