I really found amazing how supply chain planning is accomplished for the blood supply for the UK and how NHS transitioned to a demand-driven pull approach for a network that goes from blood donation to the end patient and all the steps in between. The end result is an exceptionally patient-focused service that reduces costs, frees up hospital delivery costs and wastage, and insures a safe and stable blood supply for England. Enjoy the [video](http://www.toolsgroup.com/en/multimedia/customer-videos/item/1026-nhs-blood-supply-chain-case-study.html) and this interesting story.   Dave Food [Prophetic Technology](https://www.prophetic-technology.com/) - [procurement](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/procurement) - [supply chain](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/supply-chain) - [inventory](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/inventory) - [optimisation](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/optimisation) - [planning](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/planning) - [nhs](https://blog.prophetic-technology.com/topic/nhs) - - - ## Post Your Comments Here #### About Us Prophetic Technology is a team of dedicated people that combine their expertise in business domains with a passion to release potential.s every page it appears on.
