Supply Chain Tip of the Week: Reduce costs via logical unit-of-measure (LUM) purchasing

When you distribute products just in time (JIT) based on the most logical (low) unit-of-measure possible, you can take a proactive approach to reducing costs and waste caused by expiring products.

At the same time, adopting a logical unit-of-measure approach can free up storage space and reduce the number of touches in the supply chain because you’ll process, handle, store and pay only for the supplies you need, when you need them.1

By reducing non-value-added time and cost, you can improve operating margins and reduce your inventory spend by an average of 30% or more.1 Plus, doing so can also free up more time for staff to focus on other tasks, such as supporting patient safety and quality outcome initiatives.
