ULMA Handling Systems publishes the book “Health Logistics: Challenges and New Trends”

The book is divided into easy-to-follow chapters which analyse the different flow stages of materials from the supplier to the patient, together with associated information and purchasing process management.

It also looks at different management models for hospital logistics, demand forecast techniques, stock management strategies, localization, dimensioning and warehouse design, the different subprocesses related to material flow (reception, location, order picking, etc.), the restocking function and reverse flow.

In recent years, health logistics has become more important and now contributes to better hospital functioning, whose challenge is focused on providing an efficient solution to hospital storage systems and material management, for which product safety and traceability are parameters of vital importance.
