Description
Summary:碩士 === 東海大學 === 工業工程與經營資訊學系 === 107 === Since the healthcare material price has been increasing in recent years, the inventory management is much more important than before for hospital manager, and according to the past research, shortage problems are always happening in hospital warehouse. This research takes a hospital warehouse in Taiwan as a case study, trying to reduce the shortage rate of a few specific materials. The simulation approach is used in this research, and we focus on the ordering policy that should be applied for each material. We develop several simulation models, one of them is based on real situation in the case study hospital for validation purpose, and the others are developed by applying different ordering policies. Finally, trial and error technique and optimization technique are applied to these models in order to determine the best setting values of all decision variables. Suggestion is then provided to the case study hospital warehouse.
