The impact of implementing a demand forecasting system into a low-income country's supply chain.
The authors evaluated the potential impact and value of applications of data from demand forecasting systems implemented in a lower-income country's vaccine supply chain with different levels of population change to urban areas. They used their HERMES software to study Niger's entire vaccine supply chain and found that demand forecasting systems have the potential to greatly improve vaccine demand fulfilment, and decrease logistics cost/dose, when implemented with storage and transportation increases.
