Abstract

We study internal and external lead time patterns in various departments of Tertiary Care Institute Of Northern
India. We have a shortlist Pt. B.D. Sharma PGIMS, Rohtak Tertiary Care Institute. Procurement is a difficult process
that involves many steps, agencies, and manufacturers.
Procurement lead time is defined as the time required to acquire the supplies and services and then placing them
in the hands of the user. This study was done to study the internal and external lead time in items procurement for
the beneficiaries of Ayushman Bharat Yojana at Pt. B.D. Sharma PGIMS, Rohtak. It was aimed at calculating the
internal and external lead time in the procurement of items from the month of March 2021 to May 2021(3 Month) in
the central Store. Observational study along with retrospective record analysis was done to calculate the internal
and external lead time. Identical format was used to retrieve data from the
Procurement records. Total department involved in procurement are 31 during
3 month out of which neurosurgery and Cardiology had indented the most ie8 times (25.8%)
Some reasons were noted for a longer duration of internal lead time and every
Effort should be made to bring it down to the minimum, so as to ensure the availability of the right me for
