3 What is SCMS? - a public, private partnership President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief () established the Supply Chain Management System (SCMS) in 2005 US President s mandate: Health impact: Establish and operate a safe, secure, reliable, and sustainable supply chain and develop self sustaining supply chain skills and capability within the countries. 2 million on treatment have all the drugs all the time. Value proposition: 1. Ensure patients have access to commodities 2. Reduce product and supply chain costs 3. Ensure product quality 4. Elevate importance of supply chain to delivery of health care

4 Why was SCMS created? no treatment holidays in face of emergency, global scale up Supply Chain Barriers Poor coordination among governments, funders, aid providers Little long-range planning and forecasting Limited procurement capacity Lengthy procurement lifecycles Timely order placements Inadequate warehousing and distribution Impact Treatment Programs Stockouts, overstocks, high product expiry, inappropriate treatments High costs, long lead times, poor quality Unreliable delivery, rationing, treatment interruptions Confusion, redundancies, gaps 4

5 Why is SCMS successful? Business Model Financial Structure Our global supply chain is only successful if all parts are integrated. Quality System Operational Strategies Each of these components alone would not make the system successful. 5

6 Financial structure enables continuous commodity supply Business Model Quality System Financial Structure Operational Strategies USAID working capital fund oils pooled procurement Country operating plans developed annually $ deposited upfront Funds not time bound Funds not performance restricted Funds no longer linked to and accounted for when product delivered Delinking facilitates pooled procurement based on country supply plans Enables prompt vendor payment Blended inventory price, not unique country cost 6

7 Business model aligns country requirements with donor values enhancing flexibility Business Model Quality System Financial Structure Operational Strategies Unique USG contract promotes flexibility in strategy, structure, people, and processes Focus on best value for global program balanced by country requirements Enables market dynamic procurement decisions Standardized product catalog based on client health needs New logistics model tightly integrating global supply chain with country supply chains Pre-position aggregated operating inventory in sustainable regional distribution centers 7

8 Operational strategies implement private sector supply chain best practices Business Model Quality System Financial Structure Operational Strategies Know your customer - relentless focus on forecasting, supply planning, and on time delivery Strategically manage vendor relationships Share procurement history and supply plans with manufacturers Employ long term master supply contracts pooling large volume procurement across countries to achieve lowest landed cost Harmonized labeling and product registration achieves operational efficiencies and lower costs Mode optimization enables cost effective freight forwarding, tracking and security 8

11 RDC advantages: Efficiency and cost savings Smaller, regular shipments to protect local systems Timely, accurate and safe transport including cold/cool chain commodities Delivery of drugs and commodities door-to-door Physical security en route as well as at facilities Chain of custody from supplier to recipient Rapid response to emergency requests Move product closer to market 6 10 inventory turns per year * Nairobi, Kenya

12 Global impact of SCMS pooled procurement Uninterrupted supply of ARVs for >2M people Central stockouts virtually eliminated Saved $1.3 B on $690M of ARVs delivered in comparison to accelerated access pricing Saved $91M in freight costs using sea/road 1,500 products in e-catalog 4,700 separate products procured over life of project 29,500 metric tons of products delivered 12

13 National impact of SCMS in-country supply chain model Align health care and supply chain Build platform for all products and health services Strengthen national infrastructure, systems, and human resources in 20 counties Forecasting, warehousing, distribution, laboratory optimization, logistics management information systems, QA Institutionalizing pre-service supply chain curricula at universities in 8 countries 13
