Supply Chain Integration: Seamlessly Linking the Pieces

“Product integration,” combines the management of some or all logistics functions (e.g., procurement, storage, distribution, and logistics management information systems [LMIS]) for different commodity categories (e.g., family planning, HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis [TB]) into one shared supply chain. The most commonly merged functions are those of storage and distribution. The starting point for this type of integration is the assumption that disease- or program-specific supply chains are inherently wasteful and inefficient.
