Inventory Level: 75%
- The Transfer Window of 10 and 25 weeks did not improve the situation
- The cases with 50% patient arrivals and 32 or 44 week life-times and 75% patient arrivals and a 32 week life-time were not improved and increased cost, but the rest of the cases did show improvement
- Example: The case with 125% patient arrivals a 32 week product life-time improved 21.55 expirations at a cost of 72.4 transfers for a break-even ratio of 3.36
- Best Case: The case with 100% patient arrivals a 48 week product life-time improved 10.85 expirations at a cost of 24.5 transfers for a break-even ratio of 2.29
- The case of 100% inventory showed similar trends to the 75% cases for patient arrivals 100% or larger
- For arrival levels of 50% or 75%, exchanging actually increased the level of expirations and therefore the cost
