Leveraging Chap and the DHIS2 Platform for Stock Forecasting

A hands-on workshop on stock forecasting using CHAP platform.

Well-functioning health supply chains are essential to ensure patient care. Stock availability is a key indicator of supply chain performance at the last mile. The extremes include stockouts, where medicines and products are unavailable to treat patients, or overstock, which may lead to product destruction due to expiry and other negative impacts. To optimize stock availability at the sub-national level, proper demand planning based on forecasts is essential. In this webinar, we will explore research on leveraging the AI-powered DHIS2 Chap Modeling Platform to generate forecasts and inform demand planning activities.

In this webinar, we will explore:

  • How last-mile stock data can be collected and used in DHIS2
  • Research on adapting the Chap machine learning platform for stock forecasting
  • How this method provides stock forecasts and informs inventory policy
  • A live demo of the system
  • Q&A session

Join us to learn more about the research and implementation possibilities!
