When Savings Stall

It’s no secret that price savings aren’t king any longer.  I hear this truth from supply chain professionals every day who tell me that their GPO, capitation, standardization and custom contract savings have stalled or worse yet, are on life support.  Is this your situation?

If so, take a deep breath and then dig and drill down even deeper into your supply chain to uncover the waste and inefficiencies, misuse and value mismatches in your products, services and technologies. By doing this you will find as much as 26% in new untapped savings just waiting to be unearthed. That’s where 79% of your new savings will be coming from in the future.  Trust me when I tell you that this is an unassailable fact…not fiction!

The bottom line is that we are in turbulent economic times and your relatively easy heretofore price savings are now history.  More importantly, inflation has eaten into ALL or MOST of the savings gains that you have made over the last few years. It’s now time in 2009 to refocus your cost savings efforts on Savings Beyond Price™. This is where a whole new world of virtually untouched savings will open up to you.

P..S. Let us show you how easy it is to unearth these hidden savings with a “test drive” of our Utilizer™ Dashboard where we do all the heavy lifting and you get all the savings.  

P.P.S. Don’t forget to check out my new blog article “The Best Advice I Ever Got” that I’m sure will show you how not to become absolutely crazy.    

 

 


Are You Ready to Open Up a Whole New World of Supply Chain Savings That You Never Imagined Would Be Possible Before?

Do you need to pinpoint where your supply utilization savings are hiding?

The term radar (radio detection and ranging) was coined in 1941, to describe a new technology that detected the altitude, direction and speed of fixed and movable objects, such as airplanes, ships,   motor vehicles, weather and terrain.

Radar worked so well in WWII  that it is credited as one of the reasons the Allies won the war. 

What makes radar so powerful is that it can pinpoint the exact location of something even when other search methods have failed. 

Now, take the radar analogy and apply it to your healthcare organization.  The bottom line is that price is no longer king, and we’re in turbulent economic times.  You NEED something to help you pinpoint where your savings are hiding if you’re to meet your benchmarks and savings goals. 

    That’s where our Utilizer™ Dashboard comes to the rescue!

You’ve got to attack unnecessary spending!

Just the other day, a material manager (MM) told me that she oversees 26,000 products, services and technologies, but has no way of knowing which are out of cost control at any given time.  As a supply chain professional, you know what that’s like.  You must hold your total supply cost to the absolute minimum—and doing this requires vigilance.

There’s no better way to be on the lookout for savings opportunities than with your own supply chain radar! The Utilizer™ Dashboard is exactly that! It will help you detect the waste, inefficiencies, misuse,    misapplication and value mismatches in your supply chain before they inflict serious damage to your bottom line.  Some of these misuses and mismatches are costing your healthcare organization anywhere from four to 11 percent in lost savings opportunities every month, quarter and year you continue to fly blind. 

This savings computes to 1 or 2 million dollars per 100 occupied beds.  So if you have 180-occupied beds, this could mean 1.8 million to 2.8 million going right to your bottom line—which isn’t small change when you consider that your price savings are disappearing every day.

 

Utilizer™ Dashboard is Fast, Easy, Efficient Radar—We Do the Heavy Lifting!

Because supply chain professionals have such limited time, it’s critical that when value analysis tools are employed, they provide a high ROI and require very little time and effort to be deployed by supply chain managers.  To our delight, that’s exactly how our new Utilizer™ works.  We do ALL the heavy lifting, and you reap all the savings.
