Inventory Management Policy (Internal)Policies 1 2 3 4

Description Reorders made based on demand during lead time period

Similar to Policy 1 but considers criticality of drug

Considers whether to replenish based on criticality, expiration window and availability

Similar to Policy 3 but considers inventory level in pharmacy

Results - Better than Policy 1 and 2- Considers criticality, expiration window and availability in deciding whether to replenish stock

- Policy 4 better than 3 as it considers inventory level of main pharmacy

- Led to few local stockouts but greater global stockouts

Manage rising costs

Conclusion

Background:• increasing healthcare expenditures

Aim of paper: • minimise shared supply chain cost, improve efficiency

Approach: • Form GPOs to order in bulk • Determine best number, size, composition of GPOs

Limitation: • Hospitals disagree on coordination costs and

proportions of benefit received• no solution to problems such as determining the

optimal size of purchasing groups under the various different circumstances

• Choice of changing size of GPOs when needed

• Ensure transparency of financial costs• consolidating purchasing cooperation

without having mandatory compliance from hospitals

• recommended strategy would be to adopt the best hospital structure among the GPO that minimises total cost to enhance SCM

Improvement

• Consider elasticity

• Optimal size of GPOsFuture
