PSM of Kits Atieno Ojoo Unicef Supply Division
Purpose of kits • Simply product delivery logistics • Transport (Weight, height, length, palletization) • Storage and warehousing • Ease of use (Self instructive, no assembly of parts) • Assumption that kit contents are the right ones for the intervention • Population characteristics • Problem prevalence, likely morbidity • Level of skills of providers • Usually designed for acute phase • Protracted phase-Set packing specific to situations
Procurement & Supply chain management Product Selection Needs identified Rational Use Forecasting Govts CSOs Distribution Supplier Selection Procurement Receipt and Storage Product Procurement Quality Assurance
Supply System context • PROGRAMME: product selection, standard setting, quantification of needs. • FINANCING: clarify budgets and funds • LEGISLATIVE/REGULATORY: check status of product registration, marketing authorisation, national procurement laws • COMMERCIAL/TRADE: customs duty, patents, licenses
Supply System Organisation • TENDER MANAGEMENT: supplier prequalification, bid evaluation, adjudication, Contracting. • QUALITY ASSURANCE: pre and post quality control, supplier performance • LOGISTICS: port clearance/receipt from suppliers, transportation, Storage, distribution. • MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS: data and information control, feedback/action
Important considerations • What is required in acute phase of emergency? • Save lives, prevent harm, stabilize the situation, mitigate against risks that could lead to harm in the future, • What is required in the protracted/recovery phase • Assessment of future needs, modified version of routine care • Content of kits-evidence, consensus, reflects real need • Language, naming of kits (universal, no confusion, relate to contents as much as possible), ease of identification for tracking & tracing • Compromise: some items may have to be left out or made to be ordered after an assessment is done • Transport; weight, height, length, Palettization (number of kits that can fit on a standard palette) • Kits do not replace routine healthcare provision • Political and social sensitivity
Selection of contents • Global level leadership and commitment-WHO stamp important • Evidence-base;Standard Treatment protocols- WHO • Agreed assumptions based on experience • Injectable medicines require professional health worker use e.g.MgSO4 • Single item per intervention; this allows HCW to concentrate on making the right intervention decisions, rather than choosing between interventions. Oxytocin Vs Misoprostol • Usability: ease of use • Volume and weight of product • Protective devices for health workers • No duplication with existing kits • Lifecycle of product- scenarios where a product is likely to become obsolete, change in treatment protocols e.g. MgSO4 • Product stability; choose longer shelf life formulation, avoid cold storage products • Storage requirements for components • Patents, regulatory concerns
Kit design • Several complete basic units within a kit • Bundle products that need to be used together • Do not mix external use and internal use products • Separate consumables from equipment and reusables • Sub kits with different contents • Supplementary kits • Higher level of skills required • Higher level of health services • Shelf life of kit dependent on product with shortest shelf life.
Forecasting & procurement • Morbidity based • Population based-Use prevalence information • Information from previous crises • standard, universal protocols • Prequalification of suppliers & products • Procurement by generic name • Competitive procurement process (public procurement principles) • Responsibilities for Quality assurance • Customs clearance • Financing the kits
Kit assembly • One stop packing • Procurement of kit contents • All products in a kit available at one place • Challenge with products that have to be in multiple kits • Quality assurance • Procurement, packing and distribution lead times • Compliance with international guidelines for quality, packaging, labeling
Warehousing, transport • How much to stock & where to locate stocks • Work with other emergency logistics • Stocks with suppliers of kits? • Include in the package of supplies in the logistics cluster for immediate response • Pre-agreements with logistics agents, other international agencies • Shipping, flights, ground transportation • Stock rotation, managing expiries
cost • Procurement of kit items • Kit packing • Storage, inventory management • Distribution and logistics • Other transaction costs • Cost of wastage • Cost of destruction of unusable kits
