1. Getting Products to People: The JSI Framework for Integrated Supply

Chain Management in Public Health

•Applying commercial sector solutions to transform public health supply chains

Applying the Commercial Sector Applying the Commercial Sector ApproachApproach

• By integrating their supply chains, high-tech companies have:

• Improved customer satisfaction,

• Increased sales performance by 25%, and

• Reduced costs by $6 billion*

• The public health sector is using integration to change and save lives.

*Global Logistics and Supply Chain Strategies. 2006. “IBM’s Integrated Supply Chain Creates Strategic Value Throughout the Enterprise”

The Environment for Public Health The Environment for Public Health Supply Chains is ChangingSupply Chains is Changing

• Populations are growing; health programs are expanding

• Range, value and volume of

health products are increasing

• Funders are placing greater emphasis on sustainability and accountability

At the same time….• Technology provides new

opportunities

What is a Public Health Supply Chain?What is a Public Health Supply Chain?

• A network of interconnected organizations (Ministry of Health, central medical stores, donors, etc.) that ensures availability of health products for the people who need them

Evolving Supply Chains in Increasingly Complex Environments: Bangladesh Example

• Integration provides a goal and process for strengthening systems

• A break in the chain, could cause regression

PEPFAR established the Supply Chain Management System (SCMS)

President’s mandate:

Health impact:

Value proposition:

Establish and operate a safe, secure, reliable, and sustainable Supply Chain Management System (SCMS) and develop self sustaining supply chain skills and capability within countries.

6 million on treatment have the drugs they need.

1.Ensure patients access to commodities2.Reduce product and supply chain costs3.Ensure product quality4.Elevate value of supply chain to health

The Partnership for Supply Chain Management won the contract for SCMS

• USAID revolving capital fund• FDA approval of generic drugs• A data-driven solution• Consolidated forecasting to

support pooled procurement

Applying commercial sector innovations

12

• Regional stocks held close to point of use• Frequent local distribution able to be flexible to

changing needs• Emergency supply • Collect point-of-use data

Strategy 1: Maintain relentless focus on market analysis to drive pooled procurement

Innovations:•Extract and leverage information to determine credible forecast demand to balance supply and increase data transparency •Leverage large volumes to negotiate reference price advantages for donor funded products•Align objectives to balance pharma shareholder value with developing market requirements•Mandate FDA-level standards in public health

Different products require different procurement and supply strategies

SCMS product range varies from a small number of different ARVs, ACTs or bednets to 1200 products in our e-catalog, and over 4,500 different products delivered

Leverage large volumes to negotiate reference price advantages for donor funded products

Pooled procurement helps decrease prices• 68% reduction in

average generic ARV prices

• 30% reduction in male circumcision kit prices

• SCMS prices at or below all others

15

• USFDA approved generics account for >94 percent of purchases – savings: $1.1B over Accelerated Access Initiative prices

68% Reduction

Innovations:•Pre-positioned aggregated product inventory stored in regional distribution centers•Continuous improvement program to enhance public health warehousing infrastructure•Effective last mile distribution ensuring end to end chain of custody•Increased supply chain responsiveness by utilizing safety stock to avoid or overcome health facility stock outs

•>80% of orders planned•$8-25M potential wastage avoided

Strategy 2: Build an integrated African logistics footprint based on commercial best practice

Pre-positioned aggregated product inventory stored in regional distribution centers

Accra, Ghana

Abuja, Nigeria

Nairobi, Kenya

Johannesburg, South Africa

Mode optimization to enable efficient freight forwarding

• From 0% to 80% by ocean

• Saved more than $91 million in freight by switching from air to sea and land

• $50,000 (0.01%) lost or stolen of >10,000 deliveries - 3 incidents in 6+ years

Continuous improvement program to enhance public health warehousing infrastructure(cont.)

Before After

Conclusions from SCMS experience

• The supply chain begins by understanding the in country demand and available funding and ends by satisfying that demand – patients are served

• Funding models that allow stock-holding close to point of use significantly improve product availability

• Supply chain managers must understand where key constraints impact product availability

• Segment products by type and apply different strategies to ensure availability and best value e.g. supply of ARVs is very different to bednets

• Commercial models can be applied - selectively

•Streamlined processes

•Visibility of logistics information

•Agility

•Trust and collaboration

•Alignment of objectives
