“…It was also not feasible to explore the reasons underlying the missing data such as the availability of resources at facility with which to complete indicators nor was it possible to evaluate the possible role of systemic problems with data recording nor the extent to which these results reflect a problem with the supply chain of diagnostics. This seems unlikely given previous work on the diagnostic supply chains [46,47]. We restricted the analysis to a review of testing rates because for some of the other indicators we were unable to make a distinction between instances where no data were reported (true missing) from those instances where there were no positive cases because of how the data were recorded in the DHIS2 platform (zero vs blanks for the number positive) hence these data were not analyzed.…”

Background: Following the launch of District Health Information System 2 across facilities in Kenya, more health facilities are now capable of carrying out malaria parasitological testing and reporting data as part of routine health information systems, improving the potential value of routine data for accurate and timely tracking of rapidly changing disease epidemiology at fine spatial resolutions. Objectives: This study evaluates the current coverage and completeness of reported malaria parasitological testing data in DHIS2 specifically looking at patterns in geographic coverage of public health facilities in Kenya. Methods: Monthly facility level data on malaria parasitological testing were extracted from Kenya DHIS2 between November 2015 and October 2016. DHIS2 public facilities were matched to a geo-coded master facility list to obtain coordinates. Coverage was defined as the geographic distribution of facilities reporting any data by region. Completeness of reporting was defined as the percentage of facilities reporting any data for the whole 12-month period or for 3, 6 and 9 months. Results: Public health facilities were 5,933 (59%) of 10,090 extracted. Fifty-nine per Cent of the public facilities did not report any data while 36, 29 and 22% facilities had data reported at least 3, 6 and 9 months, respectively. Only 8% of public facilities had data reported for every month. There were proportionately more hospitals (86%) than health centres (76%) and dispensaries/clinics (30%) reporting. There were significant geographic variations in reporting rates. Counties along the malaria endemic coast had the lowest reporting rate with only 1% of facilities reporting consistently for 12 months. Conclusion: Current coverage and completeness of reporting of malaria parasitological diagnosis across Kenya’s public health system remains poor. The usefulness of routine data to improve our understanding of sub-national heterogeneity across Kenya would require significant improvements to the consistency and coverage of data captured by DHIS2.

Medical consumable supply management is done in a continuous cycle, or a logistics cycle, in accordance with the goals of logistics management. The planning, budgeting, purchasing, storing, distributing, withdrawing, destroying, and controlling of the requirements come first. Logistics management strongly emphasize inventory and material movement from the point of origin to consumption to satisfy the demands of consumers and users. In other words, the logistics system aims to provide the most excellent service while minimizing costs. Inventory is a vital component of every organization such as hospital. This study aims to understand the management procedure in the hospital installation's logistics unit. The study used a narrative review methodology. The publications compiled for this study were found using the keywords "Logistics Management," "Hospital Logistics Management," "Medical Consumables," and "Logistics Management" in Scopus, Science Direct, ProQuest, SpringerLink, Google Scholar, and Emerald Insight. Consumable healthcare supplies the amount of the materials used was 11 articles. The findings demonstrate the significance of each element to the operation of logistics management. The study's findings indicate that the logistics management process for managing medical consumables has an impact and can serve as a model for the distribution management system for managing medical supplies based on supply chain management evaluations.

“…Recognition of the Potential of the textile industry to contribute to Kenya's GDP has led to the leveraging of the country's vision for industrialization on the industry (the Kenya Textile and Fashion Industry Report, 2015 several studies have been conducted in the local context interrogating determinants of supply chain performance in diverse sectors. Among sectors that have consistently pointed towards ICT, infrastructure, customer-supplier relationships, inventory management, and transport management as determinants of their supply chains include Agriculture (Mwangi, 2013;Omai, 2013); Energy (Muthini, et al, 2017;Osoro et al, 2016;Ideet & Wanyoike, 2012); Banking (Seghete, 2016); Public institutions (Weeks & Namusonge, 2016;Kanda & Iravo, 2015, Karimi & Namusonge, 2014; Public institutions (Namusonge, 2016;Wabwile & Namusonge, 2015;Waithaka et al, 2012). Inspite of the large number of studies identified, none of them specifically focus on the effect of inventory management on performance in the context of textile firms.…”

The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of inventory management on supply chain performance in terms of profitability, reliability, cost, responsiveness, flexibility and asset management efficiency of textile manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study was guided by the inventory management theory. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design. The study targeted a total of 196 respondents drawn from employees of procurement departments and departmental heads of respective 15 textile manufacturing industries operating in Nairobi County. The sample size was therefore 139 respondents. Stratified and simple random sampling methods were used to select employees of procurement departments from their respective textile firms. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used to gather the data from primary sources. The study applied the use of both qualitative and quantitative data which was analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS Version 22). Inferential statistics using hierarchical multiple regression and Correlation analysis was applied to test the relationship between the variable and formulated hypothesis. The final analyzed
