Inventory management and selection of sanitary material procurement strategy: Case study of Eginitio Hospital
Summary:
This work is a case study that examines the management of the disposable sanitary material of the Aegina Hospital. The purpose of the work is the categorization according to the economic value (ABC Analysis), the frequency of consumption (XYZ Analysis) and the importance - criticality (VEN Analysis), to create a strategic plan that will ensure that there are no shortages or overstocking. The necessary quantitative data for the classifications ABC and XYZ were drawn from the Hospital's ERP (NET TERM "ASKLEPEIOS") and related exclusively to the financial year 2023, while the qualitative data for VEN were collected with the valuable assistance of the heads of the Departments of the Nursing Service. The classification of the data into the requested categories was done using MS Excel. In NET TERM, there are 159 sanitary material codes registered. After the initial purge of inactive, invalid, etc. codes and after removing those that were out of stock during 2023, 76 codes remained for analysis. From the analysis of the data, it appeared that the items follow the Pareto principle (80/20), since 20% of the codes correspond to 73% of the stock value, 30% of the codes correspond to 22% and 50% of the codes correspond to5 % of total value. About 98% of the codes have an excessively high coefficient of variation indicating very volatile demand, while 81% of the items are classified as vital and the rest as essential. The data were then cross-referenced and new product groups emerged to which stock management techniques were assigned, always in accordance with the practices recommended in the international literature. In conclusion from the study of the operation of the Management Department and the parties involved, it appears that the opposite actions of reorganization of the inventory management - beyond the improvement of the numbers - depend on the high specialization of the personnel involved and on the diffusion of the technology and its applications within the Hospital.
