  1. Supply Chain Uniqueness/Differences Initiative November 11, 2010

  2. Initiative Team

  3. Since Spring 2010 Forum • Five monthly team conference calls • Refined scope via revised statements • Problem • Mission • Output • Defined methodology to gather data • Member analysis of automotive aftermarket vs. healthcare • Prioritized supply chain focus areas • Developed interview tool • Initiated outreach with other industries

  4. Problem Statement • Studies of the healthcare supply chain conclude that much waste and confusion plague our industry unlike more rational supply chains found in other industries. Many health care supply professionals have assumed, but never validated, that our industry’s supply chain is unique when compared to other industries and that wastefulness may be a by-product of this uniqueness.

  5. Mission Statement • We will examine various processes within the healthcare supply chain and catalog the similarities and differences of these processes as compared with those in other industries. We will identify any processes in other industries that may be transferable to improve the healthcare supply chain.

  6. Output Statement • A written report containing the findings of research including: • Best practices that could be implemented in healthcare. • Tools to assist our colleagues. • Metrics for selected processes so that progress toward optimal performance can be measured.

  7. Methodology/Top Traits • Via structured interviews, we plan to learn about: • Data standards • Product selection methods • Collaboration • Distribution strategy • Penalties • Auto ID and data capture • Metrics • Regulatory environment • Supplier relations & management • Inventory control & visibility

  8. Breakout Session • CIHL Gap Analysis Project update from Professor Manuel Rossetti • Military Medical Supply Chain Traits presentation by Lt. Col. Theresa Tillock

  9. Outreach to Other Industries • Supply Chain Leaders In Action (DBMA) • Gartner industry specialists • Cold calls to companies • SMI Members respond: • Tom Nash of Ministry Health– contacts from Honda, John Deere, and Automotive Parts Management • Matt Gattuso of Covidien – help with Krueger supply chain contact • Keith Kuchta of Kimberly Calrk – help with consumer division

  10. Next Steps • Align interview instrument with the CIHL Gap Analysis Project Tool. • Assemble a healthcare supply chain baseline description on the ten traits. • Initiate interactions and interviews with other industries.
