  1. 0:04your supply chain has many steps
  2. 0:06disrupting any one of them can lead to
  3. 0:09critical shortages for costly overstock
  4. 0:11either of which can impact patient care
  5. 0:14one kind of disruption is called demand
  6. 0:17amplification or the bullwhip effect
  7. 0:19this happens when end-users such as
  8. 0:22hospitals reacting to changes in demand
  9. 0:24over or under order supplies in response
  10. 0:28distributors and manufacturers change
  11. 0:30their orders the difference between
  12. 0:32projected and actual needs grows larger
  13. 0:35with every step resulting in too much or
  14. 0:38too little inventory for everyone in
  15. 0:40theory managing your supply chain should
  16. 0:42be relatively simple order 100 use 100
  17. 0:46reorder a control and predictable
  18. 0:48paddock of course it's never that easy
  19. 0:51first the product may not be delivered
  20. 0:54in the amount you need you need 17 per
  21. 0:56week but it comes in lots of 20 so some
  22. 0:59weeks you order one lot some weeks to
  23. 1:01some weeks none also predicting demand
  24. 1:05can be difficult due to such things as
  25. 1:07seasonal illnesses or an increase in
  26. 1:09optional procedures once patients meet
  27. 1:11their deductibles later in the year in
  28. 1:13general demand varies for four reasons
  29. 1:16first increases in your Hospital census
  30. 1:19effect demand then there is clinical
  31. 1:21practice each health professional works
  32. 1:24a little differently uses different
  33. 1:26products seasonality your needs change
  34. 1:28during flu and allergy seasons finally
  35. 1:31demographic changes such as college
  36. 1:34students heading south during spring
  37. 1:35break and older adults following the
  38. 1:37seasons impact demand hospital census
  39. 1:40clinical practice seasonality and
  40. 1:43demographics each caused a man to change
  41. 1:46affecting your supply chain now consider
  42. 1:49that each is always changing creating
  43. 1:51complexity and often dramatic
  44. 1:53fluctuations in demand let's look at a
  45. 1:56hypothetical example of how it works
  46. 1:58phoo season is predicted to be worse
  47. 2:00than expected demand rises for
  48. 2:02respiratory products and patient use
  49. 2:04increases from four cases to wait since
  50. 2:07you expect an even stronger flu season
  51. 2:09you order 16 cases more than needed so
  52. 2:12you don't run out your distributor sees
  53. 2:14your order for 16 cases so they react
  54. 2:16and order 32 cases from the manufacturer
  55. 2:19excess ordering extends and is amplified
  56. 2:22throughout the supply chain each step in
  57. 2:24the supply chain over reacts to ensure
  58. 2:27that they have adequate inventory to
  59. 2:29meet the demands of their customers now
  60. 2:31consider that other hospitals are also
  61. 2:33over ordering what's more there's not an
  62. 2:36endless supply of product hospitals can
  63. 2:39order so much that suppliers simply
  64. 2:41can't keep up and supplies run up that's
  65. 2:44demand amplification and the results can
  66. 2:47be costly inadequate inventory means you
  67. 2:50don't have supplies when you need them
  68. 2:52excess ordering means you have inventory
  69. 2:54you don't need and that may become short
  70. 2:56dated and expired
  71. 2:58you're also tying up financial resources
  72. 3:00paying for and storing all that
  73. 3:02inventory that was just one example
  74. 3:05think of the thousands of items in your
  75. 3:07supply chain and how demand variation
  76. 3:10affects them these variations may seem
  77. 3:13unpredictable but with the right data
  78. 3:15and analytics you can see and predict
  79. 3:17patterns and trends in your using we
  80. 3:20can't eliminate changes in demand but
  81. 3:22understanding them allows you to react
  82. 3:24appropriately and help control demand
  83. 3:26amplification and controlling that helps
  84. 3:30control costs a must for every hospital
  85. 3:32cost such as storing and transporting
  86. 3:34excess inventory costs of wasted
  87. 3:37resources if out-of-date supplies must
  88. 3:40be discarded and staff costs because
  89. 3:42less time counting inventory means more
  90. 3:45nursing time at bed sites considering
  91. 3:47the potential savings you have to look
  92. 3:50at your supply chain and ask do we have
