Video Summary

This talk highlights supply chain management in endoscopy as a critical patient care system impacting procedure timeliness, quality, and staff morale. Persistent challenges include shortages, cost pressures, unpredictable demand, limited storage, and complex tracking. The speaker emphasizes shifting from crisis-driven "heroics" to well-designed workflows with standardization, clear ownership, real-time observation, and team-vendor engagement. Using the SCOPE framework (Standardize, Classify, Observe, Protect, Engage) and color-coded item criticality helps optimize inventory and reduce delays. Daily huddles, visibility boards, and digital tracking support reliable first-case starts and fewer disruptions. Leadership focus on metrics drives continuous improvement for patient-centered supply chain resilience.
