Abstract

This project developed a model that uses historical consumption data of Partners in Health’s (PIH) drugs and medical supplies to forecast demand over the next three years. This demand data is then used to compare PIH’s current annual order policy with ordering policies having more frequent reviews. Our model shows that more frequent orders will drastically reduce warehouse space requirements for PIH.
