Hospital Inventory Management Course: Fewer Stock-Outs, Less Waste
Learn the methods hospitals use to keep critical items on the shelf, cut expired stock and free up cash tied in slow movers: ABC/VED, EOQ, par levels and reorder points.
Sound familiar?
These are the problems this training is built to fix.
Critical items run out mid-shift
A theatre list or ICU is delayed because one item wasn't reordered in time.
Expired stock written off every quarter
Items sit on shelves until they expire because nobody reviews them, and that's money lost.
Cash tied up in slow movers
Shelves are full of items you rarely use while vital ones run short.
Counts never match the system
Stock is missing, nobody knows where it went, and the ERP numbers can't be trusted.
What you'll master
Mapped to the actual lessons in the course – no filler.
ABC, VED & EOQ analysis
Rank items by value and clinical criticality, then calculate the most economical order size.
Par levels & reorder points
Set minimum and maximum stock and reorder triggers that prevent stock-outs.
Expiry & waste reduction
Apply FEFO, review near-expiry items and stop write-offs before they happen.
Warehouse operations
Organize receiving, storage, picking and cycle counts in a medical store.
Demand forecasting
Forecast consumption so orders match real usage, not guesses.
Inventory KPIs
Track stock-out rate, inventory turnover, days on hand and expiry losses.
The ABC-VED matrix you'll apply
Reorder point & safety stock calculator
Enter an item's usage and lead time to see when to reorder. Module 3 shows how to set this for every item category.
