How to Best Utilize Your Hospital’s Limited Supply Chain Resources

On this week’s episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl talks about getting the most out of your limited supply chain resources (people & finances!): “Everyone knows that delegation saves time and has a multiplier effect on your healthcare supply chain efforts. Nevertheless, too many supply chain professionals still do most of the work of their value analysis teams. That’s not what teamwork is all about. By definition, teamwork is a collaborative effort with a group of people to achieve a stated goal, not one person doing all or most of the work. Isn’t it time you have your value analysis team share the workload? This is the best way to utilize these resources, not doing their work for them…” Tune in for the full article!

Hospital Value Analysis: How to Make a Case for Positive Change

On this week’s episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl talks about the importance of putting your supply chain plan in writing: “The most critical element of your report should be your problem statement. The reason for this is that if you can’t identify a real, tangible, and critical problem that needs to be solved, your management or customers won’t be interested in solving it NOW. This is where you use statistics, stories, and examples to build your case for change. By the way, money talks, so make sure you show your readers how they are losing money (and quantify it) by not accepting your proposal…” Tune in for the full article!

Suppliers Managing Suppliers: A Look Behind the Curtain of Manufacturing

Brainstorming Myths and Missed Opportunities in Healthcare Value Analysis

On this week’s episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl talks about the ups and downs of brainstorming in the healthcare supply chain decision making process: “Other experts have said that there are a lot of bad ideas thrown around in brainstorming sessions and that they should be vigorously debated and then eliminated immediately.
