With the advent of increased controls in the hospital field has come the mandate for more efficient use of available resources. Production planning is the mechanism by which these efficiencies can be gained. Ongoing measurement of various work components must be conducted and retrospectively compared to make meaningful use of production planning techniques. The pharmacy department at Brokaw Hospital, which utilizes a unit dose drug distribution system combined with intravenous admixture and monitoring services, has developed an internal measurement system based on key variable weighted units of service. Each component is assigned a value depending on time needed (in minutes) for completion. The units are tabulated daily, with the monthly sum being divided by departmental manhours to yield a monthly productivity ratio. This ratio is used as an aid in making decisions related to work assignments and staff scheduling. Compared against the productivity ratio of a benchmark month of known departmental efficiency (derived by measuring all activities for the month divided by man-hours consumed), projections can be made for future manpower requirements.
随着医院领域监管力度的加大，更有效地利用现有资源成为一项要求。生产规划是实现这些效率提升的机制。必须对各种工作组成部分进行持续测量，并进行回顾性比较，以便有意义地运用生产规划技术。布罗考医院的药房采用单位剂量药品分发系统，结合静脉药物混合调配和监测服务，已开发出一种基于关键可变加权服务单位的内部测量系统。每个组成部分根据完成所需时间（以分钟计）被赋予一个值。这些单位每日进行列表统计，每月总和除以部门工时得出月生产率比率。该比率用于辅助做出与工作分配和人员排班相关的决策。与已知部门效率的基准月的生产率比率（通过测量该月所有活动除以消耗的工时得出）相比，可以对未来人力需求进行预测。
