EP 56 - Johns Hopkins Medicine's Burton Fuller On Building The Data Foundation To Measure Every Facet Of Supply Chain Performance

Eric O'Daffer speaks with Burton Fuller, Vice President and Chief Supply Chain Officer at Johns Hopkins Medicine. Burton's team is connecting case schedule data from the EHR to their demand planning forecast, what Eric called the "holy grail" of demand planning. With a new cloud-based WMS, a replaced point of use system, and a new ERP all coming online within 18 months, Johns Hopkins is laying the foundation for intelligent automation across its operation.

Burton shares how his team is rethinking what clinical integration means on the operations side, shifting from sourcing-only engagement to reliability-focused conversations with nursing and quality partners. He also breaks down how multi-tier supplier mapping helped Johns Hopkins navigate pandemic disruptions and continues to inform inventory adjustments and contract awards today.

Topics discussed:

Connecting EHR case schedule data to demand planning forecasts
Implementing cloud-based WMS with automated demand planning modules
Shifting clinical integration from sourcing events to supply reliability
Using multi-tier supplier mapping to get ahead of disruptions
Building case cart services in a clean room at the consolidated service center
Tackling indirect spend through finance alignment and capital planning linkage
Measuring supply chain performance through real-time data monitoring
Partnering with suppliers to reduce consignment costs and solve shared problems
