Inventory and Distribution Management: Imagine your health care facility without proper supply movement and inventory control: Supplies would be lost or unavailable, staff would be without the resources and equipment necessary to execute their responsibilities, and patients would be at risk.

 

Proper logistics and inventory control is the solution. When done efficiently, benefits include high levels of customer satisfaction, minimal need for clinicians to be involved, low levels of inventory investment, improved use of technology, low total cost of managing inventory, and reduced waste.
