Medical Acquisition Shelf-life System (MASS) Decision Support Model Systems Documentation.

摘要

The Medical Acquisition Shelf-Life (MASS) Model is a decision aid to assist procurement analysis in evaluating alternative bids for stocked medical shelf-life items. Mass attempts to identify the best value bid by balancing longer shelf-life against higher purchase price in order to identify the bid with the lowest life cycle costs. The objectives of this systems documentation are to briefly review the model features, document the MASS programs, describe the MASS files, and explain the procedures for updating the MASS data.
