REFLECTING THE PYRAMID ON A SCREEN GUIDING PRINCIPLES

These guiding principles have driven the design of a new Profession Health Care Sector supply chain vision

1. The supply chain should be designed to maximize delivery of end user customer satisfaction at an acceptable cost to the Professional Sector

2. The supply chain reengineering work should be future oriented ... the impact of health care policies and provider/payer responses must be considered in any new vision and/or supply chain process designs

3. The supply chain design needs to recognize the unique characteristics of Professional Sector products

4. Processes must be designed to provide financial accountability and service measurement to all process stakeholders

5. Roles and responsibilities for managing supply chain activities should reside with the supply chain participants where they can be performed most effectively and efficiently

6. Activities that are common and undifferentiated across the sector and for which consolidation provides significant cost leverage while maintaining quality service should be consolidated to one entity

7. Activities that are unique and differentiated by company and for which decentralization of cost can be leveraged and quality insured should be maintained by the individual Sector companies
