- W2897465931 abstract "This research project is on the factors affecting inventory management in relief organizations. It is a case study of Medecins Sans Frontieres, an international non-governmental organization that provides medical humanitarian support to those affected by conflict, man-made and natural disasters. The objective of the study is to determine factors that affect inventory management of medical supplies that have shelf life in relief organizations which operate in unpredictable environments. The population sample is 40 comprising staff who work for the organization in different departments and come into contact with inventory. The data was collected through questionnaires, interviews and through observing staff at work. The data was analyzed using qualitative & quantitative techniques and was presented using tables, graphs and charts. The study revealed that 61% of staff are qualified having college and university education, however 83.34% of staff generally do not agree that warehouse staff have formal training in the area of inventory management. The study also revealed that 72.23% of staff or of the opinion that the organization provides resources to respond to emergencies. The study revealed 55% of staff are of the opinion that the organization has sufficient warehouse structure and equipment. In addition the study revealed that 54 % are of the opinion that tools in place to monitor the expiry dates of the medical supplies. Some of the recommendations from the study includes that the organization needs to recruit staff that have supply chain management/warehousing profile to ensure that the inventory is managed in a more efficient and effective way. A proper emergency plan should be developed, shared and updated to the staff regularly so that the staff are aware of their roles and how to respond more efficiently. During the development of the emergency plan it is important that staff are involved so that there is more ownership of the processes. There is need to monetize the inventory so that stock losses are captured in form of money and not a list and this will capture not only the attention of the warehouse staff but globally the decision makers within the organization. The warehousing strategy for the next few months should focus on ensuring that there is better visibility of stocks by regrouping them within the warehouse to ensure that the rate of output increases and the lead time for processing stock requests is reduced." @default.
