 Burrows'
inventory reduction programs, CONVENTIONAL,
JUST IN TIME (JIT) AND STOCKLESS, are benefiting
over 200 hospitals throughout the Midwest with measured
cost savings, streamline cash flow, and improved space
utilization. Innovative inventory programs by Burrows,
unmatched by other distributors, are producing positive,
quantifiable results in hospitals.
The Burrows Company has invested heavily to ensure
hospitals have a range of distribution programs (conventional,
JIT, stockless or a combination of these) to choose
from and therefore, maximize savings.
 Comprehensive
information systems have been designed at Burrows to
support JIT and stockless programs. State-of-the-art
programs include electronic data interchange, direct
order entry, automated confirmations, customized patient
charge labels, hospital specific bar coding capability,
hand-held hospital computer par inventory controls,
electronic funds transfer, electronic invoicing and
program progress analysis reports are available.
 In
summary, the unique needs and situations of hospitals
demand distributor flexibility. Burrows recognizes this
and it is our goal to help hospitals eliminate redundant
product handling activities to save precious space and
valuable personnel time; thus reducing overall supply
handling costs. We acknowledge that inventory programs
must be flexible to meet and satisfy unique and ever
changing hospital situations.
Burrows is proud of the leading role it is playing
in the evolution of JIT/STOCKLESS programs.
