Inventory Management Tips
Track Usage Patterns
Pediatric practices often see seasonal fluctuations. Back-to-school season and summer typically bring higher patient volumes. Stock accordingly.
Set Par Levels
Establish minimum quantities for each item. When stock drops below par, it's time to reorder.
Consolidate Suppliers
Working with fewer suppliers means:
