“…Emphasis is on delivering business value through refining business processes and expanding the business model. Amini et al (2007) presents a simulation study conducted at a regional hospital for which data related to trauma patient movement was collected with an RFID-based system. IDTechEX (2006) states that the market for RFID tags and systems in healthcare will rise rapidly from $90 million in 2006 to $2.1 billion in 2016.…”

Healthcare supply chain has been a subject of interest for many years. The pressure of changes in environment lead to changes in guiding principles which produce solid problems viewed as problems with no feasible solutions. Healthcare supply chain demands effort on part of researchers to not view the problems as static. The different factors need to be viewed as dynamic. We attempt to highlight the benefits of adopting a factor interaction approach to hospital protocol. The interpretative system modelling (ISM) approach is utilized for interaction of variables affecting healthcare supply chain. This can provide healthcare sector professionals with programme guidelines where they can investigate their dynamic effects. Case study analysis and interviews have been used for generating data for ISM to understand the frame of reference in which Healthcare supply chain operate. ISM methodology has been successfully used to observe the boundaries between the different stratums of various systems and visualise the different echelons of the interacting variables of Healthcare supply chain operations. This helps to embrace and integrate human thinking. This is an advantage over hard quantitative approaches where expert knowledge is pushed to give a number to their opinion usually in form of weights to variables such as structured equation modelling or goal programming using historical data. The research paper aims to build a new frame of reference for studying and measuring the performance of Healthcare supply chain operations.

“…For example, Lu and Cheng [8] simulated the role of RFID in a typical manufacturing system and estimated an improvement of more than 8% was possible. Amini et al [9] presented a simulation study conducted in a regional hospital to investigate tactical and strategic purposes in addition to collateral value quality data generated by this technology.…”

Abstract. The National Electronic Product Code (EPC) Network Demonstrator Project (NDP) was the first large scale consumer goods track and trace investigation in the world using full EPC protocol system for applying RFID technology in supply chains. The NDP demonstrated the methods of sharing information securely using EPC Network, providing authentication to interacting parties, and enhancing the ability to track and trace movement of goods within the entire supply chain involving transactions among multiple enterprise. Due to project constraints, the actual run of the NDP was 3 months only and was unable to consolidate with quantitative results. This paper discusses the modelling and simulation of activities in the NDP in a discrete event simulation environment and provides an estimation of the potential benefits that can be derived from the NDP if it was continued for one whole year.
