Reliable supply of essential commodities can prevent disruption of public health programs in developing countries. PFSCM aims to ensure availability of essential products to programs and to strengthen national and regional supply chains to become sustainable mechanisms for delivering products.
PFSCM has been in operation since 2005. Our groundbreaking work has already created new approaches for supplying commodities to developing countries, helped transform national and regional warehousing and distribution systems and fostered new partnerships to ensure long-term sustainability. We currently support more than 1 million people on treatment through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
PFSCM currently manages three large projects that strive to reduce the worldwide impact of HIV and AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.
We support our clients with quantification, forecasting and supply planning; ordering and supply of products; support for warehousing and secure distribution; provision of technical assistance; and partnering to improve supply chain efficiencies.
We aim to provide the best value for our services by reducing the cost of commodities and shipping and by helping introduce the most cost-effective, state-of-the art strategies for supply chain management.
The Partnership for Supply Chain management has won two prestigious awards for our groundbreaking work on SCMS to provide a safe, reliable supply of HIV/AIDS commodities to countries most in need. During the European Supply Chain and Logistics Summit held in Prague, PFSCM received the Supply Chain Innovation Award and Best Value Supply Chain Provider Award. Competitors for the awards included well know companies like Pitney Bowes, Pfizer UK and Procter & Gamble.
Plan ahead for the year-end Red Zone South Africa is hosting the World Cup from June 11 until July 11. This event attracts as many as or more spectators than the Olympics and will flood airlines, highways and other infrastructure before, during and after the tournament, from March through July. We recommend planning for major deliveries to arrive before the tournament begins to ensure sufficient stock until new deliveries can arrive in August or afterwards. Programs should also consider holding larger stock than normal during this period.
