Hospitals can cut materials costs by managing supply pipeline.

Materials management costs are affected by all the members of the supply pipeline--the manufacturer, the distributor, and the hospital. Hospitals need to develop closer relationships with distributors. By reducing the number of distributors it deals with and by shifting part of its inventory to a principal vendor, the hospital can reduce its inventory and cut materials management costs.

While productivity has increased 10 to 20 percent, the linen replacement cost in these same laundries has more than doubled. It will not suffice for these laundries to point toward the hospitals they serve and imply that linen service and control is solely a hospital management problem. As long as proven technology is available, these laundries have an inherent responsibility to provide hospital management with the data necessary to pinpoint and correct linen consumption and replacement problems.
