5Baseline AnalysisLevel Setting
6Pilot Solution Level Setting1. PAR Level2. Reorder PointThere are two numbers important for level settingReorder PointBased on a one day delay between order and actual deliveryCalculated with historical ordering data by material repsCalculated based on items pulled from the warehouseDerived using statistical analysis yielding stock-out risk
PAR LevelBased on current workload

Pilot Solution for Reorder Signaling
9Baseline AnalysisOrder Quantities
The materials rep will have to put the number remaining in the bin in the handheld.10Pilot Solution Order QuantitiesAlways order the same amount
Always order about bin size11Baseline AnalysisBusiness RolesMaterials ManagementResponsible for responding to clinic requests for par changesResponsible for order and delivery of suppliesClinicsResponsible for setting the inventory level of each item

Pull the card when the supply level is at or below the tapeline 1Place the card in the low stock bin2Deliver supplies & make sure that the waterline holds the reorder point quantity1Put all cards in the ordered bin back on delivered item bins2Pull out all of the cards in the low stock bin3Scan the barcode on the back of the card and enter the handheld # in handheld. If you have to pull the quantity from the warehouse, pull the warehouse # amount
