6 Self Distribution What does it look like? Perfect Order 6

7 Business Case for Self Distribution Cost Savings 1. Reduction in Distribution Fees 2. Reduction in GPO fees 3. Reduction in Transportation costs 4. Hospital space savings 5. Consolidate 3PL costs such as document retention costs 6. Hospital materials departmental FTE reduction 7. Product Standardization 8. Utilization Opportunities Direct Sourcing 1.

8 Consolidated Service Center Self-Distribution entity 90,000 sq ft Climate-controlled Radiofrequency technology 24/7 operation Warehouse Management Tool (Tesys Elite) manages picking, replenishment, putaway, lots, Pedigree, UOM and all menu/non-menu logistic & operational processes including Demand Forecasting Low unit of measure (LUM) and Just in Time (JIT) product delivery to all hospitals, which includes Physician Preferred/Preference Items (PPI) Cross-Docking Patient Charge Capture process starts here

9 How do we manage the Supply Sourcing Process? Dedicated Buyers/Customer Service Representatives Assigned vendors Set delivery schedules Utilization of volumetric data to maximize pallet-order size Daily monitoring of ABC activity Utilization of a Demand Forecasting tool Close communication with our hospitals allowed us to validate ordering patterns and other data provided from MMIS systems We waited until we had a full year of data before we fully utilized tool We still allow Buyers to mannually adjust data to reflect manufacturer s changes in product availablity (when subs have to be used) or customer demand

10 Self Distribution Demand Planning and Procurement

11 Overview of Demand Solutions (DSFM) What is DSFM? A forecast management software tool available in our warehouse management system. Buyers utilize this tool for demand and inventory planning.

12 Buyer Customization

13 Why Use Demand Forecasting? Manage inventory to prevent backorders, increase fill-rates and decrease cash reserve use ABC analysis of stock items (4500 SKU s currently in tool) using the 80/15/5 rule Twenty-one statistical formulas are used during the forecasting phase Accuracy Data captured at item level and by facility Captures seasonality and trending Quick view graph (actual usage versus system forecast) Availablity of customized reporting capabilities % 99.80% 99.60% Fill-Rates 99.40% 99.20% Fiscal YR 2011 Fiscal YR 2010 Fill Rate Required 99.00% 98.80% 98.60% October November December January February March April May June July August September

14 Value of Demand Forecasting: Hospital Higher fill rates Less backorders- daily average of 15 items versus 60 Higher inventory turns-went from 5 to 10.8 annually Decreased overall CSC inventory value by $1.8 million within two months of use Hospitals can view what is available or ordered/allocated to manage budgets Decrease in returns related to expirations/obselence

15 Driving Clinical Integration with Demand Forecasting Fall prevention Committee Visibility of items that met their criteria Sourcing of needed items Dept level data related to past demand-compared to risk injury data Identification of departmental opportunities Surgical Standards Committee Drive clinical standards with practice standardization Custom Procedure Trays the same at all sites for same service line procedure Utilization of like items to prevent infection & drive positive patient outcomes Follows established clinical policies

16 Value of Demand Forecasting: Manufacturer Automation of the forecasting process 852 (pulls data from DSFM & WMS) viewed nightly and projection of our & vendor s need is made from this data No PO needed No backorders for last 18 months All electronic tranactions including payment Manufacturer production is based on our usage Full-visability to departmental level Acurate sales tracings Order size Date delivery required Shipping location How soon will order be utilized

17 Case Study: Trading Partner Value AVID Medical Nightly visibility of utilization of trays to actual facility & department Auto-replenishment to keep PAR levels Auto-Delivery based on needs Production Cycle & raw material acquisition based on utilization 100% fill-rates CPT changes can be done in 20 days No PO s No delivery set-up Full transparency

18 Demand Forecasting leads to Transparency & Trust Hospital Customer Patient-focused Dynamic supply versus Segmented Operational excellence Alignment of product decisions with patient outcomes & reimbursement Vendor Customer Sharing for greater visibility Creation of joint value propositions to drive efficiency & reduce costs Improvement in payment channels
