How Can You Reduce Your CPL (Cost per Liter)?

1. Choose an Attractive, Efficient Design

Stough designs put efficiency of operations first:

• The centers we design and build are appealing inside and out.
• They are designed for future flexibility.
• We design with lighting that enhances morale and productivity.
• We recommend finishes that are more durable and easier to keep clean.
• Our signage, art, HVAC, electric systems, roofing, parking lots and more are designed for maximum longevity.
• Welcoming, comfortable and efficient donor flow are part of the design— they encourage donors to come back, and help employees do their jobs.

2. Negotiate, Buy in Bulk and Stay in Compliance

It is sometimes possible to negotiate better deals with providers of equipment, materials and supplies. Buying in bulk can mean volume discounts to lower unit costs.

Adhering to all relevant regulatory guidelines and safety standards can ensure you don’t have to pay fines or disrupt operations.

3. Match Staffing with Demand, Train to Reduce Costly Errors, Develop Donor Loyalty Programs

a. When you manage your workforce efficiently to ensure staffing matches demand, you can minimize overtime and unnecessary labor costs while maintaining high-quality service.

Dynamic pricing based on hourly/daily donor traffic patterns can also cut costs.

b. When staff are well-trained and certified to handle plasma collection and processing, costly errors can be reduced.

c. Loyalty programs can encourage repeat donors, who are more likely to provide high-quality plasma, reducing rejections and the cost of testing.

You can also increase donor traffic by treating donors with respect, improving the aesthetic appeal of your facility, and making the donation process smooth and comfortable.

4. Upgrade Equipment and Maximize Energy-Efficiency

Investing in the latest plasma collection and processing equipment may increase productivity, lower maintenance costs and reduce waste.

Energy-efficient lighting, heating and cooling can reduce utility costs. So can negotiating a long-term contract with your utility company.

5. Streamline Processes, Reduce Waste Disposal Costs, Utilize Data Analytics and Automate Admin/Data Management

• Analyzing and optimizing the entire plasma collection process can eliminate inefficiencies and reduce waste. Implement Lean Management principles to ID and cut unnecessary steps in the process.
• Recycling and proper waste management strategies may cut waste disposal costs.
• Using data analytics to track key performance indicators (KPIs) can ferret out areas for improvement. Data-driven decision-making can make operations more efficient.
• Automation can reduce the time required for administrative and data management tasks to reduce the workload on staff and improve accuracy.

6. Partner and Collaborate

Consider forming partnerships or collaborations with other nearby healthcare facilities or research institutions. Explore ways to cross-promote and share resources or expertise.
