Picking accuracy is essential for hospital supply operations
The hospital supply chain depends on the delivery of the right supplies at the right time to the right place
Fulfillment accuracy isn't just about the usual goals of efficiency and profitability when you're delivering equipment, medications, and other essentials within a hospital supply chain. It's about people, health and well-being. It's about healing the sick and treating patients.
Errors can no more be tolerated in the supply operation than they can the examination room.
Solutions and methods can vary greatly from the kind of picking operation to the physical room size, to many other factors.
The inventory slotting layout of the room should be configured for accurate picks, with the most high-volume items in easily accessible slots and slow movers in more static positions. This helps order pickers to prevent errors by making the picking job easier.
Equipment such as carousels, carton flow rack, modular drawer storage, and other static storage options may be combined to create better organized picking zones that help to prevent errors.
