BLUEQ TUESDAY TIPS


STATUS DEFINITIONS



BLUEQ TIP #1: STATUS DEFINITIONS

I’d like to introduce myself. I’m the Director of Customer Experience at
BlueBin. Starting today, I will be sending a short email once a week
highlighting a section of the BlueQ Dashboard that will be a helpful review or
potentially a new tip you might not be aware of yet. I especially look forward
to a video series we have planned with 30-60 second screen sharing clips that
will walk through each portion of the BlueQ Software reporting capabilities!

To kick things off, I wanted to go over a quick reminder of the most fundamental
definitions of BlueQ Kanban software: Bin/Item Status.

Critical Bin or Item is being used much faster than the rate it’s planned for.
(Par likely needs to be increased immediately) Hot Bin or Item is moving
slightly faster than planned. (Consider increasing Par if Bin or Item is
regularly in this status) Healthy Par for this Bin or Item is correct and is
being used and replenished at the optimal rate. Slow Bin or Item hasn’t been
ordered in several months. (Consider decreasing Par to increase storage space
and decrease waste) Stale Bin or Item hasn’t been ordered for a prolonged
period. (Reassess if this product is truly needed in its current location,
remove or lower Par)

Over the next few weeks, I’ll review each status in more detail and discuss best
practices for optimizing your supply chain daily. Please feel free to reach out
to me with any questions regarding these definitions or other BlueQ Analytics
matters!

BLUEQ TIP #2: CRITICAL & HOT

For today’s tip, I’d like to dig a little deeper into two of the Optimization
Statuses I defined last week. I’ve included them again below for reference:

Critical Bin or Item is being used much faster than the rate it’s planned for.
(Par likely needs to be increased immediately) Hot Bin or Item is moving
slightly faster than planned. (Consider increasing Par if Bin or Item is
regularly in this status)

Converting Bins or Items from one of these two statuses to Healthy is the best
way to make immediate strides toward optimizing your supply chain. The BlueBin
algorithm provides a Suggested Bin Quantity column for each item.

 * Critical Items must be managed daily and may change throughout the year. For
   example, certain supplies fly off the shelves quicker during RSV season and
   need the Par to be higher here than during other periods.
 * Hot Bins are still being ordered quicker than expected but are not as crucial
   to manage. Supply Chain Specialists and Managers should address changing the
   Par for these Bins as they have time throughout the week.

Increasing the Par for these Bins or Items to the suggested quantity will get
them closer to a Healthy status, reducing Stat Calls and Stockouts in your
supply rooms. This will ensure supplies are on hand when medical professionals
need them, ultimately reducing supply chain costs across our organizations.

Improving the healthcare supply chain process, ensuring that clinicians have the
right supplies at the right time.
