Materials Management Decision Support System (MM-DSS)

MSS-DSS has been implemented and is being used by more and more supply staff across Queensland Health.  Plans for MM-DSS include a "dashboard report" for supply performance that will be developed as part of the performance measurement tool with QHSSP - see below. Ron Steer 
Barcode System Replacement The current barcode system for stock replenishment, requisitioning and asset management is in need of replacement.  A Barcode Options Paper formed the basis of a consultancy to determine the options for a replacement solution, including integration with the new whole of Government Finance system.  Ron Steer

Business Process Review

The QH Shared Services Partner in conjunction with the Supply Chain Management Integration Strategy (SCMIS) project is developing standard business processes for purchasing, increased use of Corporate Purchasing Card, and streamlining of accounts payable procedures (including utilities payments).

Performance Measurement of QH Purchasing and Logistics

A performance measurement framework has been established based on the Balanced Scorecard methodology.  A balanced scorecard had been approved by the PALPAS Committee and performance measures will be finalised in 2007.  The Materials Management Decision Support System (MM-DSS) will be developed to provide a performance measurement reporting tool based on the balanced scorecard.

National Product Catalogue

The National Product Catalogue (NPC) is an initiative of the National E-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA) that is creating a national repository of supply chain data for products supplied to the Health industry.  The NPC is based in the GS1net solution and will be the primary source for product data used in the Queensland Health corporate catalogue.
