Sound familiar?

These are the problems this training is built to fix.

Wards hoarding stock

Nurses keep hidden stock because deliveries are unreliable, so inventory is invisible.

Late or incomplete deliveries

Supplies reach wards and theatres late, or with missing items.

A warehouse that grew without a system

No clear layout, slow picking, and receiving errors.

No numbers to manage with

Fill rate, turnover and delivery time aren't measured.
