The Optimal Medical Device Order Strategy: An Improved EOQ Model in Hospital

摘要

Objective To minimize total stock cost, we make an optimal strategy by which we can submit an appropriate order sheet. Methods According to the properties of medical consumables,we list three strategy models: multi-variety in deterministic demand, solo variety in indeterminate demand and multi-variety in indeterminate demand.What's more,we use improved EOQ model to calculate optimal order period and quantities. Results We give some formulas which comprise all stock cost parameters.If these costs were confirmed,we can calculate an appropriate order sheet. Conclusion A case has been shown to illustrate the method of our order strategy.
