Abstract

With the continued growth of the medical industry and the backdrop of the COVID-19 outbreak, there is a significant increase in demand for disposable medical supplies. The resulting problem of how to properly and reasonably dispose of a large number of used disposable medical supplies deserves the attention of society. According to the survey, a large part of these disposable medical supplies have recycling value. The most typical are the medical disposable infusion bottles (bags). In order to build a highly efficient reverse logistics system for medical disposable infusion bottles (bags), the operational processes of relevant qualified firm was collected. Flexsim software was used to create the simulation model, and the simulation system's operating efficiency was examined in all aspects to identify bottlenecks for continual optimization. The optimized system saves space and reduces operating costs, which can provide some reference value for managers. At the same time, a specific collection and removal mechanism is summed up to provide a guide for improving the amount of medical waste that can be thrown away. This is done to improve the efficiency of getting rid of medical waste that could spread disease during the current epidemic.
