Prerequisites
Basic course in Logistics and/or Quality controlIntended learning outcomes
The overall aim is that the student should acquire knowledge concerning how knowledge about logistics and quality control (primarily developed in industry and trade) can be applied on a health care context.
After having taken the course, the students should be able to:
Course content
The starting pont is to illuminate the differences between goods producing organisations and health care, which produces services. In the next step, we go into what consequences this has on the use of logistics and quality control. Different methods and tools suitable for health care are presented, for example: Process mapping, Statistical process control, Demand driven planning.
Teaching and working methods
Theoretical principles, models and tools are presented on lectures, where also study tasks are presented and discussed. Field trips support deeper understanding of the health care context. Hand-in exercises are used to more in practice treat things mentioned on lectures and in literature.
