Planning for the need for the right medicines can make the procurement of medicines efficient and effective so that the medicines can be sufficiently available as needed and can be obtained when needed. At the current M23 Pharmacy, sometimes there is a shortage or overstock of medicines. To overcome these problems a data mining method is applied by analyzing drug use to produce information that can be used as drug inventory control and planning. The method used in this study is the K-Means method. The K-Means clustering method aims to group data that has the same characteristics into the same cluster and data that has different characteristics are grouped into other clusters. As for determining the best number of clusters using the Davies Bouldin Index (DBI) method. The results of this study determined that the best number of clusters was 2 clusters, the drug data grouping consisted of cluster 1 with low drug use consisting of 144 types of drugs and cluster 2 with high drug use consisting of 6 types of drugs.
