Supply Chain

The NHS is correctly focussing on improving service delivery to the patient whilst balancing budgets that are increasingly coming under pressure. Reducing waste and improving efficiency within the supply chain provides a significant opportunity to reduce costs in both the procurement and supply processes associated with all goods and services procured by the NHS, from the individual Trust and throughout the supply chain.

These cost savings will enable NHS organisations to release the resources they need to focus on the delivery of quality frontline patient care.

LSC Group has many years of experience in providing services to analyse and optimise the supply chain covering:

• Business Analysis – Supply chain transformation, strategy, business process improvement, change management, stockholding analysis and benefits realisation. Rationalisation of supply chain, leading to improved inventory visibility and reliability of delivery.
• Systems Modelling - Cost and operational effectiveness modelling at all points in the supply chain including developing and applying mathematical models to address procurement and supply issues.
• Performance Management – Enterprise performance framework development, life cycle costing, advanced analytics, business intelligence and organisational learning.

LSC Group has a framework contract with the NHS Supply Chain for the provision of supply chain consulting services to its NHS Customers. The framework makes available to NHS Trusts a range of supply chain services in an efficient and cost effective manner.
