SUPPLY SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Transcription

1 ANNOUNCES ANNOUNCES AN AN OVERVIEW OVERVIEW COURSE COURSE IN IN SUPPLY MANAGEMENT COURSE GOAL The availability of drugs and other essential supplies determines the success of any health program. Without a reliable supply of contraceptives, a family planning program cannot serve its customers; without appropriate drugs, a tuberculosis program cannot offer treatment. An effective AIDS treatment program requires an uninterrupted supply of antiretroviral drugs. To forecast, quantify, and procure any commodity requires the ability to effectively and efficiently allocate existing and future resources as well as manage the procurement process. The efficient management of health commodities is imperative in the current environment of increasing demand and limited resources. Therefore effective inventory management of health commodities determines to a greater extent the effective delivery of any health system. It has an impact on all functions of any health system including finance. To be effective health systems need to manage health commodities in a logical and consistent manner. ESAMI in partnership with the USAID DELIVER PROJECT will be offering its introductory course in Supply Chain Management. At the end of this course, participants will be able to asses stock status, improve storage and warehousing 1
