How Supply Chain Management Leads to Ongoing Value

In order for a business to thrive, time must be taken to look closer at the internal processes involved. Cutting unnecessary expenses, evaluating current inventory, and uncovering issues within a supply chain are all essential to ensuring your business runs smoothly.

But if your business is a healthcare facility, your staff should be dedicating their time and focus on their patients, not constantly managing logistics. Consulting with a healthcare logistics company is one of the best ways to keep your facility operating at its highest level of efficiency.

Piedmont Moving Systems has been providing some of the most thorough healthcare logistics solutions to San Jose and the Silicon Valley since 1981. Our four decades of experience have allowed us to perfect our services and devise solutions for inventory and supply chain issues faced by our valued customers that are tailored to their specific needs and goals.

Inventory Management Built to Last

Your staff should be able to dedicate their full time and attention to their patients while at work. When the staff of a healthcare facility is responsible for uncovering issues related to inventory, they may find short-term solutions that take care of a specific problem, rather than seeing the bigger picture of how to keep issues from popping up in the first place and lowering operational costs.

Instead of relying on staff members to oversee inventory for their departments, logistics companies will focus on your entire hospital, or whichever departments require assistance. By understanding your internal processes, speaking with leadership, and then implementing industry-leading best practices, logistics professionals are able to pinpoint inefficiencies within your operations, and recommend solutions for your facility.

Fast and Accurate Physical Inventory Counts

One of the best ways to find any inaccuracy within your inventory is conducting a thorough physical inventory count. Once again, instead of this falling on the shoulders of your healthcare staff that are handling or assisting with patient care, a third-party logistics company can take the lead.

When you let professionals handle physical inventory, not only will you and your staff be able to redirect your focus where it counts, but professionals trained specifically to quickly count and organize products will be able to complete the task in a fraction of the time it would take someone from your team.

Find Ways to Increase Ongoing Value

Whether you need logistics services across your entire facility or for a single department, supply chain management professionals can help. Typically, you can expect a logistics company to work hand-in-hand with your own leadership team to align nationwide best practices with your specific goals.

Working with a company like Piedmont Moving Systems for supply chain consulting services can result in finding long-term solutions for a variety of areas within your organization, such as:

  • Operating Room Supply Chain
