The assessment attempts to determine the current status of the CCW, to ascertain the need for expansion to additional warehouses in Ibadan and Kaduna, and to suggest improvements to the national storage and distribution systems for contraceptives that should be reviewed and implemented. Methodology The assessment identified the current warehouse practices and possible gaps in the areas of storage; receiving; pick, pack, and dispatch; inventory control; distribution; security; health and safety; human resources; and client relationships. The assessment was based on a questionnaire and photographs. Steps were then identified with the aim of achieving good warehouse practices, improving the infrastructure and equipment, enhancing human and financial resources, and determining whether there is a need to expand the current warehouse to additional locations in Ibadan and Kaduna. Upon completion of the necessary investigations, a proposed plan of action has been suggested that focuses on the short, medium, and long term. Findings Warehouse practices are generally good but exhibit poor storage conditions, as well as a manual warehouse operation system. Stock management is manual and does not track batch numbers and expiry dates on bin cards. In addition, no safety equipment or stock reports are in place. The warehouse employs dedicated security personnel for receiving and dispatch but has no segregated areas for those activities. No alarms, security cameras, or other security measures are in place, and the role of security personnel is limited. The distribution system is reactive, and distribution resource planning is not optimum. Currently, no performance measurement exists for subcontractors. The two zonal warehouses considered for possible expansion were also assessed. The assessment team found that storage condition was poor and that the electricity was not connected at either site. Key Recommendations x Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs), and provide on-the-job training for staff members. x Reorganize stock arrangements, and create bin locations in the CCW. x Purchase relevant equipment, and repair malfunctioning equipment (lights, forklift, fans, etc.). ix x Set up database that is inclusive of batch numbers and expiry dates. x Design a fire control plan, and implement it. x Ensure security of products in the process of distribution. x Create Job descriptions that clarify roles and responsibilities. x Review and implement service level agreements and performance management measurements. x Background The Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), with technical assistance from the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT, conducted a needs assessment of the Central Contraceptive Warehouse (CCW) of the Central Medical Stores (CMS). The assessment will provide information in the following ways: x Identify current warehouse practices and gaps in these areas: � Storage � Receiving � Pick, pack, and dispatch � Inventory control � Distribution � Security � Health and safety � Human resources � Client relationships x Identify steps necessary to achieve good warehousing practices. x Identify infrastructure and equipment improvements, including automation. x Identify human and financial resource requirements that are necessary to achieve good warehousing practices. x Identify the need to expand the current warehouse to include additional locations in Ibadan and Kaduna. 1 2 Purpose and Objectives of the Assessment The purpose is to conduct a needs assessment of the Central Contraceptive Warehouse (CCW) and to examine the need to expand to additional warehouses in Ibadan and Kaduna. The needs assessment determined the status quo and the short-, medium-, and long-range requirements of the national storage and distribution systems for contraceptives. Assessment Methodology The assessment team comprised personnel from Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), USAID/ Nigeria, the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT, and the Fuel Group. A complete list of data collectors and monitors can be found in Annex 5. Data collection instruments used for the assessment included checklists; structured questionnaires, as provided for in Annex 1 and 2; and photographs. Findings CCW—Product Storage Conditions On the day of the assessment team’’s visit to the CCW, the warehouse was relatively empty. The staff members, however, reported that they were expecting some deliveries to come in. In general, the warehouse was in fairly good condition except for a few leakages and a termite problem. Leakage in the roof, just above a storage area A termite path in the warehouse 3 The warehouse practices were generally good, but some irregularities existed; for example, product locations and correct packing procedures were not followed. The assessment team noticed one incorrectly labeled package for dispatch. Parts of the warehouse indicated poor storage conditions, such as termite paths on the wall and leakages in the ceiling. Also, 6 out of 10 lights and four out of six fans were in working order. Many of the warehouse processes are manual, which can——and does——lead to human error. The current practice of moving pallets using trolleys is inadequate. A pallet stacker is needed for more efficient movement of pallets, as well as for staff safety. A generator that is stored in front of the warehouse and is awaiting commissioning has started rusting. The Central Medical Stores (CMS) generator provides electricity to the warehouse, but it does not have the capacity to power all the electrical appliances in the CCW. CCW—Product Flow The next photograph shows a box that has been used to pack a product different from that which it originally contained. The box, however, was not labeled with the new product name. Ideally, the storage of parts boxes should be done in plain boxes without any existing printing on the box, but as a cost-saving measure, boxes can be reused as long as their labels are changed and updated appropriately. A material-size shipment was also received and placed in the receiving or dispatch area because there was no space at the time it was received. However, the shipment has remained in that area for two years. Because space was taken up by having the shipment stored in the dispatch area, many dispatched orders were placed in the store pending loading. The result was poor workflow regarding picking and packing and an increased chance of stock being mislaid and thus not accounted for. In addition, mislaid stock could lead to stock expiry and wastage. Commodities stored in boxes with the wrong label Commodities stored in receiving and dispatch area for more than two years 4 A material-size shipment was also received and placed in the receiving or dispatch area because there was no space at the time it was received. However, the shipment has remained in that area for two years. Because space was taken up by having the shipment stored in the dispatch area, many dispatched orders were placed in the store pending loading. The result was poor workflow regarding picking and packing and an increased chance of stock being mislaid and thus not accounted for. In addition, mislaid stock could lead to stock expiry and wastage. The assessment showed that there were no standard operating procedures (SOPs) for warehouse processes in place. Tally cards did not carry stock batch numbers and expiry dates. The cards were used per product regardless of the batches and expiry dates. Technically, that use of cards means that all batches of the same product were mixed in the warehouse, on the same pallets; therefore, it is unlikely that the first-expire, first-out (FEFO) principle was followed rigidly. Main Issues Products stored in the CCW warehouse run the risk of damage. The poor storage procedures currently being used can also increase the risk of theft. Cumbersome and time-consuming put-away and order preparation processes used were not always in conformity to best warehousing practices. Manual processes are likely to lead to inefficiencies. The functioning of the FEFO principle can, therefore, not be guaranteed. Key Recommendations x Develop SOPs, and train staff members. The proper implementation of SOPs and a trained staff will ensure that warehousing functions run smoothly and effectively. That approach will also ensure that the risk of theft, damages, or mislaid stock is reduced and, in the best case scenario, avoided altogether. x Completely reorganize the current stock, and create bin locations. SOPs on picking and packing will ensure that stock is packed in the correct locations and will help to avoid stock misplacement. x Purchase the relevant equipment (forklifts, ladder, carts), and repair the current equipment (lights, fans, etc.). CCW—Stock Management and Reporting The manual stock management process as practiced in the CCW offers no tracking of batch numbers and expiry dates on bin cards and there are no stock reports in place. As a result, tracking and tracing of any batch, as well as reporting on expired stock, is cumbersome. CCW has a computer, but it did not seem to be used frequently and was not plugged in when the advisor visited the premises. No reports were in place on the day of the visit. Main Issues The manual processes currently in use in the CCW heighten the chance of human error. The FEFO principles are unlikely to be adhered to, increasing the risk of stock expiry and loss. Stock is not properly reconciled, which means that stock losses might not appear until much later. 5 Key Recommendations x Set up a database inclusive of batch numbers and expiry dates. Such an arrangement will ensure that FEFO is properly maintained and that the efficacy of stock is effectively managed. x To improve the issue of reporting and inadequate access to information, create reporting templates and define reporting cycles. x In the long term, set up a properly functioning warehouse management system and provide for staff training. CCW—Expired Stock On the day of the visit, some stock was expired. The warehouse staff reported that the last destruction exercise for expired drugs took place four months earlier, which was responsible for the reduced quantity of expired products sighted during this assessment. Six months before expiry, products are quarantined. Some stock that had expired in 2004 was sent back from one of the states. Main Issues The quarantined products are mixed up with expired products. No process or mechanism seems to be in place for the return of expired stock from the state sites. Key Recommendations x Separate quarantined products from expired products. x Review the timeline for quarantining to accommodate products with a short shelf life. Expired stock in the CCW warehouse CCW—Occupational Health and Safety Concerns Only two fire extinguishers were in the warehouse, and they had had no maintenance since they were bought; thus, the possibility exists that their efficacy has been compromised. Parts of the ceiling showed visible damage caused by a leak that had gone unattended, making water damage a very real threat and compromising the safety of stock. 6 The warehouse staff had no safety equipment, such as helmets, boots and gloves, etc., which can potentially lead to serious injuries in the event of a warehouse accident. The assessment team also observed that a ladder had been stored or placed incorrectly, possibly because of lack of space; such a situation can lead to injuries. Warehouse practices, such as leaving a ladder or trolley against a stack of stock, can lead to injuries. Main Issues One of the main issues in the CCW is the risk of fire, which unfortunately cannot be contained under the current setup. Also, the very real risk of injuries to warehouse staff members exists as a result of nonavailability of the correct safety equipment. Key Recommendations x Design a fire control plan. Purchase and install the appropriate equipment to put the plan into effect. x Procure the required safety equipment immediately. The safety of the warehouse staff is essential to any properly functioning warehouse. Train staff members in the use of safety gear purchased for their protection and educate them as to the importance of wearing the safety gear at all times. x Design and implement safety SOPs. x Thoroughly clean the warehouse, and set up a roster whereby staff members take turns in cleaning designated areas. CCW—Security The assessment team found that the CCW had five locks with two sets of keys. Two warehouse officers had a set of these keys each. This arrangement does not conform to good warehouse practices. The best practice would be (a) that at least one key from each set would be kept by the security officer to ensure that two people are present during the opening and closing of the warehouse and (b) that those two people are not from the same department. It is important that the segregation of duties in this regard be reviewed and enforced. 7 The warehouse has dedicated security personnel for receiving and dispatch. However, those two vital areas are not cordoned off from one another. The assessment team also noted that the security personnel have a very limited role. The noticeable lack of security at the warehouse is further exacerbated by the fact that no security alarm, security cameras, or closed circuit television exist. Main Issues As a result of the lack of security infrastructure, there is the risk of internal and external theft. Areas of high activity cannot be monitored, and the safety of stock during non-operational hours cannot be ensured. No historical data on the security activity are available. Key Recommendations x Seal all vehicles at the point of loading, and record serial numbers to ensure security integrity. x Implement a warehouse management system that has strict adherence to SOPs to increase internal inventory security measures. It would also be advisable to install security measures in and around the warehouse to maintain the protection of stock. CCW—Personnel and Skills In general, the staff members are very willing and enthusiastic. However, no formal individual performance reporting process exists, and the level of authority on the basic coordination of activities is very limited. Main Issues The CCW has no formal system or feedback mechanism to monitor individual performance. It is also clear that staff members, in general, were not aware of all good warehouse principles and good warehouse management practices. Inefficiencies caused by lack of training are apparent. Key Recommendations x Document and enforce job descriptions, including roles and responsibilities. It is important that management receive input from staff members when their job descriptions are being developed and discussed. x Develop performance and measurement indicators and tools with respect to specific job descriptions. Define SOPs in that regard, and institute on-the-job training. CCW—Distribution The current distribution system is reactive, and distribution and resource planning is not functioning optimally. No performance measurements on subcontractors were in place; this situation needs to be reviewed as soon as possible. A tender process was started in April and proposals were aggregated, but no follow-up has occurred since then. The drivers handling distribution of stock should be trained on best practices. Main Issues Vehicle routes are defined at the last minute and depend on the funds available. No service level agreements are in place, and, therefore, subcontractors’’ performance is not monitored. 8 Key Recommendations x Review and implement service level agreements and performance management measures. x Test all drivers of the selected subcontractor or subcontractors to ensure that they have the necessary numerical and literacy skills to count boxes and to read descriptions for checking packages. x Draw up distribution SOPs, and conduct relevant training.

The lack of systems in place also results in poorly defined delivery timelines, as well as increased costs and inadequate reporting. In general, the CCW staff members understand the standard practices of the distribution supply chain; however, the processes currently in place better accommodate the administrative requirements than the distribution system objectives. 10 Visits to Ibadan and Kaduna Warehouses Ibadan Warehouse Visit Poor storage conditions of products at the Ibadan warehouse Infrastructure As the photographs above illustrate, the Ibadan warehouse exhibited extremely poor storage conditions. The team noted inadequate racking, termites, disconnected electricity, and numerous leaks in the ceiling. The warehouse was being used to store bed nets, expired products, and obsolete forms and stationery. There was a generator, but it was not connected to this storehouse and its attached offices. Main Issues Storage is currently very poor, owing to termite infestation, a leaking roof, and inadequate racking. Storage should be done only after the warehouse is cleaned of all the expired stock and the unused or outdated stationery. Key Recommendations x Clean out the warehouse and make repairs. Install relevant equipment, such as lights, forklift, desks, computer, cards, stationery, etc,, and train staff members in their proper use. Connect the warehouse and attached offices to the existing generator. x Set up standard operating procedures SOPs, appoint a warehouse supervisor and a team, and proceed with on-the-job training of staff. 11 Kaduna Warehouse Visit Kaduna warehouse as seen from the outside Infrastructure The assessment team could not gain access into the warehouse. However, on general inspection, poor storage conditions were noted, as well as lack of proper warehousing equipment. Leaks and damaged ceilings were clearly in evidence, and the electricity supply to the warehouse was disconnected. Main Issues Storage of products in this warehouse is possible but only after extensive repairs. Key Recommendations x Here again, the warehouse requires clean up, major repairs, and purchase and installation of relevant equipment. x Develop SOPs, and appoint a warehouse supervisor to oversee the repairs and implementation of processes. x Provide on-the-job training for the staff. 12 Figure 2. Map of Proposed Distribution—Number of Pallets 5 10 19 10 1422 11 The Ibadan and Kaduna warehouses can accommodate the current annual contraceptive consumption for their state and for neighboring states. It is, however, unlikely that either of the warehouses can support any scale-up plan. 13 14 Further Recommendations/ Proposed Plan of Action Short-term Plans (within six months): x Establish stakeholder task force to complete action plan. x Design and institute standard operating procedures at Central Contraceptive Warehouse (CCW) level, ensure staff training, and establish key performance indicators (KPIs). x Draw a complete request for proposals (RFP) for transportation and issue the RFP to the market. x Award tender, sign the standard local agreement, and define KPIs for transportation. x Standardize the reporting format. Midterm Plans (within one and one-half years): x Set up an inventory control and warehouse management system at CCW. x Upgrade the regional facilities (Ibadan, Kaduna, Kano). x Improve workflow processes, and work with all stakeholders to support a continuous system of improvement. x Set up online reporting that will be available to all relevant parties. Long-term Plans: x Complete renovation of CCW facilities to meet future commodity demand. x Complete automation of distribution reporting at all sites and for all stakeholders. x Undertake ongoing staff training and monitoring with partner organizations. 15 16 Appendix 1 Warehouse and Distribution Assessment List Warehouse and Distribution Checklist I.
