[Research on Procurement Classifcation of Medical Equipment Based on Kraljic Model]

Area of Science:

• Healthcare Management
• Operations Research

Background:

• Effective medical equipment procurement is crucial for healthcare quality and cost control.
• Existing procurement strategies may lack the necessary nuance for diverse medical equipment.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop a standardized scoring system for medical equipment procurement.
• To establish a classification model for optimizing procurement strategies.
• To enhance the efficiency and personalization of medical equipment purchasing.

Main Methods:

• Application of the Kraljic model for procurement strategy.
• Utilizing the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine factor weights.
• Development and validation of a medical equipment procurement classification model.

Main Results:

• A robust scoring standard system for medical equipment procurement was established.
• The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) successfully determined the weight coefficients for evaluation factors.
• The developed model effectively classifies medical equipment, enabling tailored purchasing strategies.

Conclusions:

• The established model provides a practical framework for classifying medical equipment procurement.
• This approach facilitates individualized and delicate procurement management.
• The model demonstrates strong operability and guiding significance for healthcare purchasing personnel.
