The depolyment of medical supplies & pharmaceticals usually in low units of measure as close to patients as possible.

Dividing a facility’s total annual inventory purchases by the ending inventory value is what
Inventory Turns
Also called, “Holding Cost”
Is the cost assocaited w/having inventory on hand.

Hardcopy req entered in MMIS by MM
Emergency Requistion System
Physical movement of products to end user areas
Distribution
Allows receiver to check only a small portion of shipments & assume the accuracy of the whole shipment based on the result of the statistical sample.
Common practice w/stockless programs
Statistical Receiving
Process for receiving & dispersing or moving the inventory to its intended receipient.
Supply Receiving & Distribution Operations
Calculation for the storage cost; are common in EOQ implementation.
Cost of Storage
Cost of the oldest product defines product cost
Assumes oldest products are used 1st.
First in, First Out (FIFO)
Cost of newest item defines product cost
Assumes most recently received items are used 1st.
Last in, First out (LIFO)
Uses a continually updating average to compute unit cost.
Average Cost
All items are automatically changed to current price anytime a new order is received.
Last Price Paid
Price for each item is established and only changed periodically based on changing market conditions (regardless of minor changes from order to order).
Standard Pricing
Records previously expensed purchases as an asset inventory.
Capitalization
2 identical storage carts.
1 cart stored in department and used by staff; 2nd cart (identical to 1st cart) stored in storeroom.
Simply “ change out” full cart for depleted cart; return to storeroom, restock and ready for delivery the next day.
Exchange Cart System
Supplier ships smaller quantity on frequent basis (often daily)
Supplies still come in bulk quantity; facility breakdown & stock on shelf in warehouse
Just In Time ( JIT)
Used in exchange cart or case cart system but can range from large platform trucks to flatbed carts
Cart
Calculation of the most efficient maximum order quantities.
2 X Annual Usage X Order Cost / Unit cost X Carrying/Holding Cost
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
