Pre-Demand Flow

Excess supplies overran clinical work areas

Unreliable methods to ensure FIFO posed a

risk to patients

Inventory levels were “eyeballed”, reorder quantity was “best

Unreliable system was driving millions in

waste

Clutter led to chaos and cost

Too much clinical time was spent searching for
