| Abstract: | The research presents a first version of the framework to reduce overstocking issues in a healthcare setting. The framework is a first step for healthcare organisations to move to a sustainable situation in where inventory is balanced between having enough on stock and the available capacity. The approach helps staff to become more actively risk averse instead of passively risk averse, because the approach creates insights in demand and so in needed inventory. The three step approach is very flexible and has several parameters staff can adjust to the circumstances in the hospital. With the provided simulation staff is able to simulate scenarios and anticipate on the expected changes in lead time or demand. |
