FORECASTING DEMAND OF MEDICAL MATERİAL AT HOSPITALS: AN EXAMPLE APPLICATION OF CONSUMPTION ON SERUM SET

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse consumption of serum set by quantitative estimating method at Suleyman Demirel University Hospital and to estimate the consumption of serum set by determining the most appropriate forecasting model. In this study, moving average, exponential smoothing, Winters Holt- and linear regression forecasting methods that are demand estimate have been used. Mean Absolute Percent Error(MAPE) and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) have been used for the measurement of the accuracy of forecast results. Also, in the study comparisons have been made among methods in order to determine the method that estimates best at serum set consumption. According to research results, the lowest MAPE is value of 5 and the lowest MAD is value of 971 as occurred in Holt-Winter's additive method.According to this method and the analysis, it has been estimated that the next 12 months serum set consumption could be of 335.556 units at the hospital. When hospital managers estimate the need of medicines and medical supplies, they must certainly benefit from the quantitative forecasting methods besides qualitative forecasting methods. Thus, by more accurately estimating medical materials and medication needs, it is going to be positive impact on the hospital's efficiency, profitability, financial performance and sustainability
