The Trust’s Logistics distribution is currently conducted using a very archaic system for stock flow accounting, whereby a generic Microsoft Access inventory system is used to account for the quantity of Medical Consumables that are stored and that flow through the Central Logistics Unit (CLU) only. Once stock is issued from the warehouse to stations, its accountability and final disposal cannot be assured as the current Stock Inventory system is limited. The Make Ready Supervisors and/or Team leaders at each station are required to order their perceived amount of stock from the CLU every week. This process, and with the current systems employed, makes it hard to conduct credible audit of the Trust’s Logistical movement and use of stock. The limited ability to monitor stock and the uncertain nature of consumable item usage within the Trust, has led to stock unnecessarily expiring, stations running out of stock, mainly due to incorrect ordering, and stations over ordering leading to overstocking and the risk of degradation and loss. The knock-on effect is that this causes disorganisation and inadvertently creates pressure on the logistics department, as it must conduct many ad hoc deliveries which increases the demand on the already limited resources and raises the annual mileage of transport vehicles, thus increasing our Carbon Footprint. Ultimately the Trust is losing revenue because of its limited ability to manage consumable stock. The Trust requirements is to engage with the market and drive the required change in the current system to meet a system specification that defines Trust needs effectively.
