QHSSP Supply Services provides purchasing, inventory management, contracts management, warehousing and distribution support to Queensland Health for a predetermined range of products and services.
A major initiative for Supply Services is the Supply Chain Management Integration Strategy (SCMIS). Queensland Health currently maintains several disparate and fragmented supply chains which independently purchase, warehouse and distribute products that are essential to the provision of clinical services.
The Supply Chain Management Integration Strategy (SCMIS) is about improving supply support through the adoption of a single supply chain network across Queensland Health. To achieve this objective, the physical distribution function is to be performed by three strategically sited Distribution Centres; located in SE Queensland, Townsville and Cairns. These Distribution Centres will significantly reduce or eliminate the need to maintain around 40 intermediary inventory sites across the state. In order to support these Distribution Centres, a new model of service delivery is to be developed for the procurement, contracts and invoice verification functions.
The SCMIS Project seeks to design, develop and implement a model of service delivery that supports a lean, high performance supply chain that achieves “best practice” standards.
