PeopleSoft provides excellent tools for Healthcare organizations to replenish Par Inventory. Through the use of the Inventory, Mobile Inventory, and Purchasing modules, PeopleSoft can replenish Par Inventory accurately and efficiently to planned inventory levels. Where PeopleSoft falls short is proving tools to assist organizations in setting the correct Replenishment Parameters for Par Inventory. PeopleSoft provides no system calculations for setting Optimal Order Quantity, Fixed Order Quantity, or Maximum Quantity. There is an Average Usage calculation, but it is not suitable for most organizations. In this session, we will explore how PeopleSoft can be enhanced to provide tools to assist in calculating proper Par Replenishment parameters and to automate the update of Par Location definitions based on these calculations. Additionally, we will look at how bolt-on Advanced Planning applications can be used to account for trending usage over time, seasonal variations, and one-time unique events.
