Inventory Levels: 25%
- The only case to experience relatively significant expirations was that of a 32 week product life-time.
- 10 Week Transfer Window increased number of experiations while the other transfer windows decreased them
- The graph shows the change in expirations due to the 2 week transfer window as well as the number of transfers
- Example of Analysis: The case with 50% patient arrival level and a 32 week product life-time had 2.97 transfers per decrease in expiration. Therefore, it is beneficial if the product cost is at least 2.97 times the transfer cost
- Best case: The case with 50% patient arrival and a 44 week life-time experience a ratio of 1.48 (cost of expirations: cost of transfers)
