Our inventory management system ensures accurate, real-time monitoring of all stock movements within the supply chain. The system integrates central and zonal warehouses, allowing for easy tracking of stock levels, expiry dates, and batch information. The adoption of online IMS enables the agency to generate automated reports that support timely decision-making and policy planning.
Inventory control follows the First-Expiry-First-Out (FEFO) principle to minimize product expiries. Routine physical stock counts, reconciliations, and audits are carried out to ensure data accuracy and accountability. Warehouse staff are trained to maintain meticulous stock records and promptly report any discrepancies.
The agency also employs data analytics tools to forecast future stock needs and identify consumption patterns. This proactive approach helps prevent shortages and ensures optimal stock levels at all times. A stock rotation plan is implemented to prevent accumulation of slow-moving items and to maintain product freshness.
For expired or damaged commodities, we have established procedures for reverse logistics and safe disposal in line with environmental health standards. The process is supervised by qualified personnel to prevent public health risks and ensure compliance with waste management regulations.
Through efficient inventory and stock management, we maintains a reliable supply chain that ensures uninterrupted access to essential medicines, promotes cost efficiency, and safeguards public health.
