In today’s climate, the need to manage costs and improve business efficiencies has never been more important. NHS Trusts routinely stock and replenish thousands of supplies across many locations. Achieving patient care levels at the lowest supply chain cost is challenging in such a complex environment.
Typical of the current situation is:
- Supply expenditure increasing year on year.
- Prices rising higher than inflation often with little or no warning, or agreement.
- Hospital systems not coping with short item lead times.
- Excess or insufficient stock being held at key locations.
- Missing instruments, equipment and supplies reducing the efficiency of operating theatres.
- Increasing costs from the introduction of new technologies and medications.
- Skill gaps in key personnel concerning supply chain planning and operational processes.
