The magic calculator works well for Rwanda because of low consumption of each product each month per CHW if the quantities were very high there would be many rows and columns which would make the tool much more cumbersome. The CHW already has 3 tests, so he/she requires 5 additional RDTs to be adequately stocked.
Because the CHW’s monthly consumption was 4 tests and we want to ensure he/she has two month’s stock on hand, based on the past month’s consumption level, the CHW needs to have 8 tests. This is the resupply quantity for the CHW this month. The quantity in the point of intersection is 5.
Consumption patterns of CHWs were analyzed to establish inventory management parameters. It is currently designed for the following products dispensed at the community level in Rwanda: ORS sachets, zinc 10mg tablets, amoxicillin 125mg tablets, Primo Rouge, Primo Jaune, RDTs, and gloves.
The resupply calculator is meant to be an easy way for CCs to determine resupply quantities for the CHWs in their cell, based on quantities dispensed to patients over the past month and their current stock on hand (SOH).
