Hospital Central Supply Space Planning and Optimization
Space is one of the things you will never have enough of...but with careful planning, you can optimize what you have for today and tomorrow
There are plenty of options, but which fits you best?
We've all seen it in this age of rapid growth: as the hospital grows, the central supply system is strained to its limits. At times it lags behind overall facility growth, causing stress on the system to do its job and deliver supplies, medications, kits, and equipment efficiently.
Perhaps it is because administrators tend to think about care facilities more frequently than they do the supply chain. Whatever the reason, if you are a supply professional, you must deal with it. As one manager told us, his supply warehouse went from seeming like a basketball court to feeling like a closet as the hospital network expanded beyond the size of its supply chain. Even well-planned expansions impact central supply.
The good news is this: you can do something about it now. You don't have to wait for the next time you have budget for expansion.
With the stream of demand and the scarcity of square feet, space planning can be the saving grace. And the good news is, you can usually gain space within your existing area by revising and redesigning the way you store and pick.
