Do You Have A
Money-Saving System To Keep Your Savings Machine
Humming?
“Only
A System That Is Proven, Repeatable, Auditable And
Trainable Will Keep Your Money-Saving Machine Humming”
I
can’t tell you how many times I hear from supply chain
professionals that their supply value analysis program
is stalled, fizzled or worse yet, on
life support. They tell me that they are
generating too little savings for their efforts, their
value team members aren’t coming to meetings any longer
and that their value team has lost its focus,
edge and momentum.
When
I ask them what kind of savings model or system they
have in place to save money they tell me they don’t have
one. They just kinda hunt, peck and
feel around their hospital operations until they
stumble over some savings opportunity that makes
sense to implement.
They
tell me that it takes a lot of time to find savings this
way, but what else they can do? Well, they could
beg, borrow, steal, develop or buy a money-saving
system to easily and automatically plan, organize,
identify, measure, document and implement their supply
chain savings improvements.
Only
a system that is proven, repeatable,
auditable and trainable will keep a
healthcare organization’s money-savings machine humming.
While the hunt, peck and feel method will only,
in time, frustrate and discourage you and
your value team members, because you are reinventing the
wheel with every value study that you undertake.
So
let’s take a lesson from super successful
organizations such as WalMart, General Electric,
McDonalds, UPS and Starbucks, because that nothing
mission critical happens in these
companies without being systematized, proceduralized and
structured for success. You too need to do the same
with your mission critical supply value analysis program
if you want to keep it humming!
