2 Lean Supply Chain Automation The impact of RFID two bin replenishment on supply flow and JIT inventory management Jodi Panzini, Director Health Information Management Concord Hospital 2

3 Areas of Focus 38 locations 3 sterile areas for a total of 16 locations OR Day Surgery Central Sterile 3 specialty areas for a total of 4 locations Cath Lab Radiology PACU 4 nursing units for a total of 18 locations ICU Emergency 6N Family Place 3

4 Stimulus for Change Barcoding system was labor-intensive and an ineffective means to the reliable and accurate demand assessment needed for a JIT system Inability to easily locate items from floor to floor Nurses still involved with too many stat orders and manual requisitions Storage conditions messy and overloaded, resulting in hard-to-locate supplies, ad-hoc supply locations and poor expiry management 4

5 Objectives Improve inventory assessment on demand for accuracy and efficiency Realign SKU management to MM to reduce clinical involvement in logistics activities Enable greater MM responsibilities with fewer resources Improve ergonomics for clinical flow, expiration management and storage footprint reconciliation 5

6 Analysis of Priorities (Top 5) 1. Reduce on-hand inventory while ensuring stock availability 2. Accurately and automatically assess demand with real time statistics for JIT system through technology acquisition 3. Prevent expiry by eliminating duplicate SKU locations and integrating turns into replenishment methodology 4. Minimize clinical involvement in replenishment activities while yielding time efficiencies for both clinical and materials personnel 5. Decrease physical footprint used for supply storage, and organize supplies for improved ergonomics 6

7 2BIN-iD Overarching solution two-bin replenishment solution RFID-powered automatic replenishment triggers data-driven inventory management with real-time reporting 7

8 How the solution leverages RFID technology 1 Supplies are managed in batches Secondary batch Primary batch 8

9 How the solution leverages RFID technology 2 These batches are identified by primary and secondary labels Secondary batch label Primary batch label 9

10 How the solution leverages RFID technology 3 Each label contains a unique passive RFID transponder 10

11 How the solution leverages RFID technology 4 When a batch is depleted, the label is placed on an Active RF Board 11

12 How the solution leverages RFID technology 5 The passive RFID transponder is thereby activated, automatically transferring that batch depletion record to the business analytics software 12

13 How the solution leverages RFID technology 6 Analyzing RFID data against its database server, the software transfers replenishment orders to McKesson PMM, delivered onward to LUM provider ERP LUM 13

14 Results by Priority 1. Automatic demand assessment 2. Inventory reduction 3. Shrinkage control 4. Time and process efficiency 5. Space and ergonomics 14

16 Replenishment Point of use capture Priority 1: Automatic demand assessment workflow Host Appl. 16

17 Priority 1: Automatic demand assessment Automatic demand assessment = Meaningful data Complete elimination of the time and resources spent assessing (scanning, counting) demand at the point-of-use More accurate record of on-hand inventory and replenishment need Real-time reports generated through LogiDATA-iD, the application software supporting 2BIN-iD, creates opportunity for continuous optimization and improvement 17

18 Priority 1: Automatic demand assessment New access to information Replenishment Optimization report Factoring in consumption rates, lead time, replenishment time Replenishment Analysis Replenishments by week, department or detail level for primary replenishments, secondary replenishments and actual secondary replenishments. Delivery Status reports Abnormal Replenishment Cycle Time Lead Time Analysis Automated Requisitions for LUM provider 18

19 Priority 1: Automatic demand assessment Improved LUM efficiency Per line item cost drastically reduced owing to regulated reorder thresholds at irregular time intervals 6:00 AM 8:00 AM 10:00 AM 12:00 PM 2:00 PM 4:00 PM 6:00 PM 8:00 PM Before - Sample Reorder Points Throughout the Day 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 6:00 AM 8:00 AM 10:00 AM 12:00 PM 2:00 PM 4:00 PM 6:00 PM 8:00 PM After - Sample Reorder Points Throughout the Day 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 19

23 Priority 3: Shrinkage control Shrinkage factor is the evaluation of the global value of product loss based on the value of the purchases and the level of efficiency of the supply chain. Shrinkage is normally caused by: Expired products Poor knowledge of inventory levels Replacement of products with new products Products no longer used following the departure of surgeons Lack of data regarding excessive use of expensive products from one period to another Pilferage 23

24 Industry average of 8% shrinkage Shrinkage is normally caused by: Expired products Poor knowledge of inventory levels Replacement of products with new products Products no longer used following the departure of surgeons Lack of data regarding excessive use of expensive products from one period to another Pilferage Priority 3: Shrinkage control 24

25 Priority 3: Shrinkage control Current state features: Leaner inventory levels Less opportunity for supplies to expire Built-in stock rotation Better organization with decreased loss It is estimated that the new system has the capability to reduce this shrinkage rate to 3%, representing a 63% reduction in loss due to waste. 25

26 Number of SKUs Priority 3: Shrinkage Control Total Managed SKUs % 4600 Managed SKUs BEFORE Managed SKUs AFTER Total Automation has allowed the number of products managed by the MM department to be increased by 4.7%, while still reducing duplicate SKU locations by 11.2%. This translates to 43.2% fewer duplicated SKUs.

27 Number of SKUs Priority 3: Shrinkage Control Duplicated SKU Locations Before/After % SKU duplication BEFORE SKU duplication AFTER Total The implementation of the system has allowed the number of products managed by the MM department to be increased by 4.7%, while still reducing duplicate SKU locations by 11.2%. This translates to 43.2% fewer duplicated SKUs.

28 Number of SKUs Priority 3: Shrinkage Control Total Managed SKU Lines % SKU lines BEFORE SKU lines AFTER Total The implementation of the system has allowed the number of products managed by the MM department to be increased by 4.7%, while still reducing duplicate SKU locations by 11.2%. This translates to 43.2% fewer duplicated SKUs.

29 Priority 3: Shrinkage Control Factors leading to improved shrinkage control: Fewer duplicate locations means less misplaced or forgotten stock Leaner inventory levels means shrinkage risk avoidance Integrated turns means supplies do not expire due to overstocking Real-time visibility means proactive response to supplies nearing expiry

38 Other gains identified during the transformation The following are additional advantages gathered during the many interviews conducted with clinical staff and MM managers but that have not been specifically quantified. Prevention of further overstock Automated stock rotation Anyone can now put away supplies Easy to maintain Accessibility to the information There is no longer a need to move shelving units to pick items

39 Next Steps Evaluate implementation of 2BIN-iD in newly constructed 5N Expand 2BIN-iD to nursing units to realize similar gains in other clinical areas Engage nursing personnel to demonstrate value and time savings Use realized ROI in other areas to quantify benefits in remaining areas 39
