Some examples of quick win supply chain interventions are hiring qualified staff, updating forecasting metrics, increasing safety stock by a small % etc. They are usually small tasks that can easily be achieved @zukynokeke @ARC4SC @ARCSC_Hub

Non availability of accurate consumption data and standard nomenclature for healthcare products create uncertainties and make prediction for exact demand for medicines difficult. @zukynokeke @ARC_Nigeria @UkamakaGladys @ARCSC_Hub @pharmubk @jennyfroome @gregoryswhite @ScottWLuton
