Our Total Value

RELIABILITY

Supply chain disruptions and product failings can present real threats to the health of your organization. When your supply chain is unreliable or you experience poor product performance, there are measurable costs – both human and financial.

The cost of supply chain issues add up quickly. Financial costs may include higher cost of substitute products, increased waste, readmission penalties or absenteeism.

Owens & Minor strives to
simplify the process so
you don't have to worry
about it.

Our vertically integrated
supply chain makes our
process better.

  • Design products and their specifications to ensure appropriateness for use
  • Select the best raw materials
  • Self-manufacture most of our products, many in North America
  • Apply high quality standards
  • Have three strategically-located distribution centers in North America for rapid deployment

We are equipped for the
unpredictable.

Reliability means being prepared to respond better to
things we can't control, such as:

  • Hurricanes Harvey and Irma disrupting the flow of inventory
  • 2015 port strike halting shipments from Asia to the west coast

Up to 8 weeks for shipment from Asia

2 weeks (or less) for Owens & Minor response.

The Promise
Competitors promise 30% savings on sterilization wrap, which sounds very attractive on the surface.
Apples to Oranges
But competitors offer savings based on providing lower quality products. They offer five grades of wraps, where Halyard provides seven.
Poor Performance = Reprocessing Costs
An increase of just 2% in tears, cuts, and holes as a resultt of substituting lower-grades can wipe out any potential savings.
Adding Expensive Accessories
Customers then buy corner protectors and other expensive accessories to try and make the lesser wrap “work.”
