Greetings!

I can’t believe that supply chain professionals still don’t get it!  That it’s not your job to do all of the work of your supply value analysis teams.  By doing all of the work you are, in fact, reducing the productivity of your team by 10-fold and thwarting the ownership of your savings ideas by your team’s members by 60% to 80%.  Aren’t you looking for ways to do your work quicker, better and smarter?

Instead of doing all the work you should be filling the new roles of consultant, trainer, coach, facilitator and resource for your value team to assist your members to grow in performance.  Most importantly, looking for new and better systems to employ to save more!  By doing so you will enable your team members to gain the commitment, persistence and discipline that is necessary to move your team members to the next level of savings performance. And guess what, you will save more in the process!

To help you further understand what I mean by how “making things easier on yourself could help you save more in less time.” I would like to share with you my million dollar savings system that I GUARANTEE will ease your supply value analysis workload, increase your savings yields and gain you the acceptance and recognition you deserve! Isn’t time to start saving money in a quicker, better and smarter fashion before you run out of steam and collapse from overwork.

Your Partner in Supply Chain Savings,

Robert T. Yokl, President and CEO

Are We Fooling Ourselves Into Believing We Are Really Saving All That We Can For Our Hospital?

“You Can Fool Yourself That You Are Saving All The Money You Can Some Of The Time, But You Can’t Fool Your Bosses All Of The Time.”

There is a new game in healthcare being played everyday called, “We Are Saving All Of The Money We Can In Our Supply Chain”. This is permeating our supply chain culture. We are even convincing our bosses to play this game -- some of the time. But you can’t fool your bosses all of the time, because they are catching on to this game.

I’m hearing from more and more supply chain professionals who are telling me that their bosses don’t believe there are “no more savings” in their supply chain.  They are asking for proof from their supply chain professionals in the form of reliable benchmarks, extensive surveys and comprehensive audits. I’m also hearing from scores of CFOs who are asking me to provide them with our “Strategic Supply Savings Analysis” service to enable them to obtain a second opinion on whether there is more savings to be achieved in their hospital’s supply expenses. With the result that we are uncovering 3%, 6% or even 9% in supply chain savings being left on the table -- untouched at every hospital, system and IDN that we are auditing for supply chain professionals or their bosses.

So as far as I’m concerned the game is over, because you can fool yourself that you are saving all the money you can some of the time, but you can’t fool your bosses all of the time. They aren’t going to play your game any longer.

Now progressive supply chain professionals understand that they can’t play this game any longer (if they ever did) and still remain credible in their bosses’ eyes. They have accepted the truth that supply savings are always possible if you know where to look for them. They are vigorously searching out resources to help them to more effectively benchmark, survey and audit to drill down and dig out their supply chain opportunities so they can be ahead of the wave when their bosses start looking over their shoulder and asking questions that they don’t know the answers to like what are your savings goals and objectives for 2006.

If you think you can continue to play the game of, “We Are Saving All Of The Money We Can In Our Supply Chain”, for very much longer you better start looking over you shoulder too, because your bosses have caught onto this game and have decided not to play it any longer.
