Abstract

The logistics management of hospital materials is very important to ensure the normal operation and reduce operating costs. After analyzing the shortcomings of the traditional management mode of hospital materials, which is based on inventory-driven, a systematic and integrated logistics management mode of hospital materials based on the theory of JIT and SCM is established to reduce the total cost of materials management and improve work efficiency. The steps and success factors of logistics mode reengineering are discussed in detail. At last, a real implemented case is provided to validate the effect of the mode.
