Abstract

Cost Analysis in Supply Management

By: Kelsey L. Pecka

Department: Supply Chain

Mentor: Donna Lynn

Who We Are:

“Supply Management is responsible for the ordering of optimum levels of supplies, and consumables maintained for Lehigh Valley Health Network.”

What We Do:

“It is the policy of Lehigh Valley Health Network to achieve product standardization, and ensure products utilized meet the requirements acceptable to the clinical staff and the network through the development of a product formulary.”

Goals:

This project aims to capture the statistics of the Supply Management Department and create cost analysis dashboards to observe monthly spending, saving, and activity.

Locations Analyzed:

  • Cardiac Catheterization / Electrophysiology Laboratories: Cedar Crest, Muhlenberg
  • Operating Room: Cedar Crest, Fairgrounds, Muhlenberg, 17th Street
  • Radiology: Cedar Crest, Muhlenberg

Hospital Supply Chain Management varies from the norm; it worries not about consumers’ wants, but patients’ needs.
