关于客户
Rexall 是一家加拿大零售制药公司，在行业内一直处于增长阶段。然而，该公司对旧技术和流程的依赖影响了其盈利能力、效率和竞争敏捷性。商店补货流程是在商店层面启动的，基于利用手持式 RF 技术的每日实物库存盘点结果。在下达这些手动订单之前，商店经理对未来商店层面的需求模式变化、商品拆解、安全库存要求或天数覆盖的了解有限。这导致供需失衡现象频繁出现。此外，向供应商下达的采购订单是通过非 EDI 渠道进行的，其模式和波动性与商店内的模式相似，导致与 DC 的失衡现象类似。
挑战
加拿大零售制药公司 Rexall 因依赖较旧的技术和流程而面临挑战。商店补货流程是在商店层面启动的，基于利用手持式 RF 技术的每日实物库存盘点结果。在下达这些手动订单之前，商店经理对未来商店层面的需求模式变化、商品拆解、安全库存要求或天数覆盖范围的了解有限。这导致供需失衡现象频繁出现。此外，供应商的采购订单是通过非 EDI 渠道进行的，其模式和波动性与商店内的模式相似，导致与 DC 的不平衡现象类似。因此，该组织寻求建立一种先进的规划模型，以消除极其耗费劳动力和手动的补货流程。
解决方案
Rexall 实施了 Blue Yonder 的预测和补货功能，以提供自动化决策支持平台来执行高级规划活动，并改善 Rexall 的运营并最终提高其盈利水平。整个项目在 30 周内完成。迄今为止，该解决方案控制着加拿大 317 家商店的补货操作。现在，所有非直销产品都利用 Blue Yonder 解决方案进行补货。整个 Rexall 网络中的补货流程已得到改进，以利用集中的、新定义的推荐订单流程，从而为商店提供每日推荐购买清单。推荐订单是根据商店级需求预测、促销投入和分阶段库存位置得出的，商店会比较这些推荐订单并批准补货。

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
