    Managing materials across multiple healthcare facilities presents unique challenges. This study details a system analysis and improvement project for the Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD) to control supply costs.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Supply Chain Management
    • Public Health Administration
    • Operations Research

    Background:

    • Managing materials in multi-facility healthcare systems introduces complex organizational and logistical challenges beyond single institutions.
    • The New York State Office of General Services provides centralized supply chain services to various state agencies, including the Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze and improve the commodity distribution system for OMRDD's 20 residential facilities and associated programs.
    • To identify strategies for controlling and reducing operating costs associated with supply chain management.

    Main Methods:

    • Engaged external consultants (Friesen International, Inc.) to conduct a comprehensive review of existing procedures.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Performed on-site assistance for implementing changes across all component facilities within the OMRDD system.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified significant vulnerabilities in the commodity supply chain contributing to rising operating costs.
    • Developed and initiated implementation of improved distribution and management strategies across OMRDD facilities.

    Conclusions:

    • Systematic analysis and on-site implementation are crucial for optimizing multi-facility supply chain operations.
    • The study offers valuable insights into managing healthcare commodity distribution, despite variations in specific methodologies.
