| Abstract | Since the healthcare materials price are increasing in recent years, the inventory management is much more important than before for hospital manager, and according to the past research, shortage problems are always happened in hospital warehouse. This research takes a hospital warehouse in Taiwan as case study, trying to reduce the shortage rate of a few specific materials. Simulation approach is mainly used in this research, and we focus on the ordering policy that should be applied for each material. We will develop a few simulation models, one of them is based on real situation in the case study hospital for validation purpose, and the others will be developed by applying different ordering policies. Finally, trial and error technique and optimization technique are applied to these models in order to find out the best setting values of all decision variables. Suggestion will then be provided to the case study hospital warehouse. |
