Building a Culture of Accountability with Supply Six Sigma

Follow the rules or don't call it value analysis. Most healthcare
organizations will say they are doing value analysis, but what they
are really doing is GPO contract evaluations, price shopping,
standardization or product evaluations. This is not value
analysis!

Building A Culture Of Accountability With Supply Six Sigma: The
Next Generation Value Analysis Model. You can’t hold people
accountable if they don’t know what they are being held responsible
for, answerable for, or expected to accomplish. This is why you
need to measure results utilizing the tools of benchmarking. Then
you will know how much supply savings is achievable at your
healthcare organization not only globally, but by commodity group,
service line and SKU (stock keeping unit). This way your project
managers will know with certainty how much savings they are
responsible for squeezing out of any project that they are working
on, e.g., orthopedics, pacemakers, dressing, kits, trays, etc.
