Download or read book Supply Chain Management of Perishable Products with Applications to Healthcare written by Amirhossein Masoumi and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply chains for time-sensitive products, and, in particular, for perishable products, pose specific and unique challenges. By definition, a perishable product has a limited lifetime during which it can be used, after which it should be discarded (Federgruen, Prastacos, and Zipkin (1986)). In this dissertation, I contribute to the analysis, design, and management of supply chain networks for perishable products with applications to healthcare. Specifically, I construct generalized network frameworks to capture perishable product supply chains in healthcare operating under either centralized or decentralized decision-making behavior. The dissertation is motivated by applications ranging from blood supply chains to pharmaceuticals, such as vaccines and medicines. The novelty of the modeling and computational framework includes the use of arc multipliers to capture the perishability of the healthcare product(s), along with waste management costs, and risk. The first part of the dissertation consists of a literature review of perishable product supply chains with a focus on healthcare along with an overview of the relevant methodologies. The second part of the dissertation formulates supply chains in healthcare operating under centralized decision-making behavior. In this part, I focus on both the operations management of and the sustainable design of blood supply chains and construct models for regionalized blood banking systems as belonging to the Red Cross. The third part of the dissertation considers competitive behavior, with a focus on the pharmaceutical industry. I construct an oligopoly supply chain network model, with differentiated brands to capture the competition among producers of substitutable drugs using game theory and variational inequality theory. Furthermore, using a case study based on real-world scenarios of a highly popular cholesterol-reducing branded drug, the impact of patent rights expiration of that brand is explored which coincides the time when its equivalent generic emerges into the markets. The calculated results are then compared to the observations from the real-word problem. Finally, the projected dynamical system formulation of the pharmaceutical network oligopoly model is derived. This dissertation is based on the following papers: Nagurney, Masoumi, and Yu (2012), Nagurney and Masoumi (2012), and Masoumi, Yu, and Nagurney (2012) as well as additional results and conclusions.

Download or read book Efficient Inventory Management of Hospital Supply Chains Using a Sim heuristic Approach written by Siddharth Garg and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Inventory management is a vital section of a supply chain system. In a hospital setting, where delivering high quality patient care is a prime concern, inventory management is often overlooked. With the ever increasing demand for products, it becomes challenging to manage inventory in a dynamic facility such as a hospital. Although there is abundant research in supply chain, seldom have the proposed methods found their way into execution in actual hospital settings. Additionally, much of the literature focuses on particular aspects of the supply chain. Current methods used in practice lead to system performance that is suboptimal, resulting in too much or too short inventory in stock, overtime work to manage supplies, expedited shipments and potentially substandard quality of care delivered to patients. Having the right products available at the point-of-use is important to the efficient and effective treatment of patients. With cost and budget constraints, merely managing demand is not sufficient. There is a need to develop a system design which enables hospitals and healthcare institutions to implement and benefit from methods that have been developed or are being developed for optimal inventory management systems. In this research, we study the hospital supply chain from manufacturers/distribution centers to the point-of-use within a hospital unit, taking into account the integration and implementation of the various echelon of the supply chain system. In particular, we design and develop a sim-heuristic methodology using operations research to evaluate inventory and operational decision variables based on service level and operational costs, subject to variability in demand and lead-time. In addition, we demonstrate the capabilities and limitations of the methodology and compare alternate system configurations including a (Q, r) inventory system and Kanban system."--Abstract.

As a result, Institutions and organisations had to develop innovate in ways to be able to stay in business. This is where I believe knowledge meets opportunity in the mist of crisis. Dr. Joseph L. A. Mensah has made good use of his vast knowledge and understanding of supply chain management and operations by providing a framework for the study of materials planning methods in supply chains. This new book takes a comprehensive look at materials planning strategies and warehousing. In organisations, materials planning and warehousing form an important part of the supply chain. The book offers several theories, ideas, and concepts that are key to understanding supply chain within an organization. The book teaches about the roles and responsibilities within the supply chain and the rationale behind them along with the various planning strategies and tools available to ensure successful flow of inventory from the supplier to the end-user. This edition of the book deepens the reader's understanding of materials planning strategies and warehousing. This edition of the book is exceptional mainly for the new features that have been added by the author. These features I believe will help address the key global issues about supply chain management in organisations. Examples of the features are the total quality management within the supply chain (Chapter 7), forecasting in supply chain management (Chapter 9), e-supply chain (Chapter 12) and warehousing and safety (Chapter 14). The inclusion of these topics to this edition provides additional knowledge on the flow of information and materials throughout an organization how its external customers are affected. The author brilliantly interconnects these topics in a way that contributes effectively to the supply chain. The book is lengthier in this edition, and most of the content is totally new or rewritten with comprehensive examples and computer-based methods. Another useful feature is the 'questions and case studies". In this new feature, the book provides questions and realistic case studies at the end of each chapter as a way to strengthen the reader's understanding of the various major topics. The book is a useful tool for teaching and learning tool. It gives readers a complete grasp of inventory management and while assisting students and industry players to understand the techniques for ensuring good inventory maintenance. The content of this book can serve as a dependable approach for attaining successful stock management since all inventory techniques and warehouse setups that offer a suitable environment for inventory management are covered in this book. Everyone in supply chain management and operations needs a copy of this book as it offers quick responses and a workable approach to specific problem areas and provides sets of ideas from which a better understanding of the relevance and importance of these problem areas and decision-making techniques can be built.

Download or read book Perishable Inventory Systems written by Steven Nahmias and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A perishable item is one that has constant utility up until an expiration date (which may be known or uncertain), at which point the utility drops to zero. This includes many types of packaged foods such as milk, cheese, processed meats, and canned goods. It also includes virtually all pharmaceuticals and photographic film, as well as whole blood supplies. This book is the first devoted solely to perishable inventory systems. The book’s ten chapters first cover the preliminaries of periodic review versus continuous review and look at a one-period newsvendor perishable inventory model. The author moves to the basic multiperiod dynamic model, and then considers the extensions of random lifetime, inclusion of a set-up cost, and multiproduct models of perishables. A chapter on continuous review models looks at one-for-one policies, models with zero lead time, optimal policies with positive lead time, and an alternative approach. Additional chapters present material on approximate order policies, inventory depletion management, and deterministic models, including the basic EOQ model with perishability and the dynamic deterministic model with perishability. Finally, chapters explore decaying inventories, queues with impatient customers, and blood bank inventory control. Anyone researching perishable inventory systems will find much to work with here. Practitioners and consultants will also now have a single well-referenced source of up-to-date information to work with.
