Public sector

The public sector - the state, regions and local governments – is picking up the requirements for enhanced efficiency, which have continuously applied to the private sector.

The public sector is undergoing a transformation in all major areas which make demands on operations, employees and the management.

Trends in the state

• Focus on efficiency improvements in internal processes
• Procurement optimisation
• Standardisation of processes
• Logistics and supply chain thinking in the hospital service
• The use of logistics as a leverage to achieve efficiency improvement (for example in hospitals)
• Centralization in the health sector
• Increasing transparency requirements

Trends in regions and local governments

• Citizens’ increased expectations to service level
• Municipal budgets under pressure
• Attracting and retaining skills
• Subject to political decision-making and change of priorities
• Demand for increased efficiency - more senior citizens
• Demand for efficiency in areas not previously focused on
• Tendency to centralisation – i.a. hospitals and group medical practices
• Capacity management across units

Logistics challenges

• Optimisation of the logistics within health, technical management, and supplies
• To ensure optimum utilisation of resources through economies of scale - e.g. hospitals, meals rehabilitation as well as maintenance of road and park facilities.
• Focus on procurement and distribution
• Ensuring the citizens’ feeling of value for their tax dollars
• To have the attitudes in the public sector change towards regarding the hospitals service as a production company
• Taking advantage of the tools used in production to improve processes in healthcare.
