A new business model for effective global supply management promises to decrease the complexity in sourcing medical products while significantly decreasing costs and offers the executive an opportunity to “do more with less”, a recurring theme in today’s health care climate. Evaluating the value proposition requires that the executive understand what the manufacturers’ best practices are for assuring product quality and safety.
