Common medical equipment
challenges by role
- “Pandemic risk management is delaying non-critical procedures”
- “Many people are second guessing forecasts - Limited visibility and collaboration around assumptions”
- “Negotiations are tougher because of consolidation: hospitals, doctors groups, clinics, purchasing groups, and MCOs buy in bulk at lower costs and apply margin pressure”
- “Developing emerging nation infrastructure creates a demand for life science products in different markets”
- “We have short term variability with complex and long lead time manufacturing (CTO, MTO, ATO)"
- “It is difficult to sense Demand and link PLM to the demand plan”
- “We have Limited Visibility and Collaboration with multi-tier Suppliers around Constraints”
- “We carry excess spare parts inventory to keep machines up and running”
- Private insurers and government programs must limit payments for many medical treatments due to increasing health care costs.”
- “Our AOP /finance process is disconnected from the rolling forecasts of our S&OP process”
- “Our S&OP is conducted on PowerPoint – A big productivity drain and highly ineffective meetings”
- “Market Consolidation: hospitals, doctors groups, clinics, purchasing groups, and MCOs buy in bulk at lower costs and apply margin pressure”
Aim big, start small, iterate rapidly.
