Telos Supply chain & Logistic

An efficient supply chain of materials is an essential tool for the functionality of healthcare logistics and the healthcare system, not only for the goods management aspects, but to ensure the functionality of the system itself in the more purely healthcare aspects. In order to provide a qualified response to the European Community’s demand for innovative and feasible projects, the overall redesign of the supply chain of goods and services in healthcare is the key to improving patient service and cost efficiency.

The key is the integration of Macro-logistics, Micro-logistics routes and processes and the implementation of centralisation models supported by digital innovation and a profound organisational re-engineering that also guarantees traceability.

BENEFITS

Optimising resources

• Reduction of time to be spent on internal handling of products in the warehouse, checking, preparing and processing requests, correcting errors and many other general tasks;
• Reduction of time to supervise and control the whole process.
• The system is able to reduce the number of staff needed to carry out current logistics activities by at least one third.

Stock reduction

The system allows stocks to be contained thanks to:

• Controlled reordering of quantities according to actual needs;
• Increased product rotation;
• FIFO (First In First Out) and/or FEFO (First Expired First Out) management of each product.

Process control

• The specific objectives that the system allows to be achieved:
• Significant reduction of handling errors in the manual recording of inventory and handling data;
• Traceability of the product and movements (in accordance with Ministerial Decree of 15/7/2004 as amended);
• Complete historicisation of all goods handling operations;
• Integrated and real-time stock control;
• Preparation of accurate stock and movement statistics.

Overall reduction in consumption and costs of device pharmacies as a result of process optimisation through the use of Lean Management methodology
