Who Needs This Book?

If you are a Health Minister, Policy Maker, Warehouse Manager, Hospital Administrator, Pharmacist, or Supply Chain Student—this book is your essential manual for navigating the complexities of pharmaceutical inventory.

The Challenge:

In the healthcare sector, stock management is not just about logistics; it is a matter of life and death. Holding too much stock (Over Stock) wastes precious resources and leads to product expiry. Holding too little (Under Stock) leads to stockouts, treatment delays, and compromised patient care. Finding the perfect balance is the single greatest challenge in the pharmaceutical supply chain.

The Solution:

Gabula Sadat, a distinguished strategic architect in health supply chains with nearly two decades of frontline experience, provides the blueprint for achieving that balance.

This practical guide moves beyond theory to deliver a field-tested framework for mastering essential metrics. Inside, you will learn how to:

· Calculate with Precision: Master the formulas for Average Monthly Consumption (AMC) tailored for different settings—from National Warehouses (12 Months) down to User Departments (8 Weeks) .

· Prevent Critical Errors: Clearly define and identify the characteristics of Over Stock and Under Stock before they impact your patients.

· Optimize Ordering: Determine the exact Quantity to Order by understanding Maximum/Minimum Stock Levels, Lead Times, and Order Periods.

· Adapt and Innovate: Explore alternative quantification methods to build a resilient supply chain capable of withstanding disruptions.
