Tip of the Week Article: What Value Analysis Is and What It is Not!
It’s About Commitment, Discipline and Focus!
What’s value analysis all about? It’s about commitment, discipline and focus and finding lower cost alternatives to what you are doing now! If you are missing even one of these success components you can’t and won’t have consistent, sustainable and substantial savings results.
VA is all about having your senior management commit to making savings happen for your supply value analysis program or it will slowly, but surely sputter, fizzle and die.
VA is all about having discipline (practices and methods to enforce acceptable behavior) from the top, right down to your value team level or you will be going every which way — but forward.
Value analysis is NOT about GPOs, capitation, standardization or custom contracts, but is all about utilization management: wasteful and inefficient consumption, misuse, misapplication and mismatches. If you are focusing all or most of your efforts on the price side of the supply equation, you are missing 79% of your hidden savings opportunities.
To bring these points home here’s is an example: we once were retained by a hospital CEO who intuitively understood that saving money was ALL about commitment, discipline and focusing on finding lower cost alternatives to what his hospital was doing. With our help, he organized, and operationalized his hospital’s multi-phased savings initiative. He then became the chief cheer leader for his management team and hospital staff, encouraging his staff at every opportunity to dig deeper and broader then ever before to search out and find those hidden savings. Well, as you could have guessed, within a year his hospital saved over $6.5 million.
There is no magic to this success formula; just the commitment, discipline and focus to make savings happen the old fashion way: Hard Work!
