    Abstract:
    The Materiel Management Department in today's hospital is in a uniquely advantageous position. It can better support the hospital's mission by applying current techniques in material management systems automation together with current computing technology as part of a broad-based reengineering process. Materiel management executives, suppliers, software developers, and hardware manufacturers now have all the necessary tools to create and implement a flexible, cost-effective, complete, paperless system. The model system offers tremendous advantages in terms of increased productivity and reduced total cost. This article discusses the process and the tools and techniques that should be considered.
