Supply chain managers can toggle the identified levers to minimize
their cost of vaccine deliveries...
Insights
1
Streamlining delivery layers from 4 to 3 was shown to have the greatest impact in reducing the unit cost of
delivery and should be the primary consideration for supply chain managers seeking cost optimization
The-S-Z-F model has proven to be the most cost-effective option for vaccine delivery to a high number
of target facilities as against the four models
Unit cost of deliveries increased when the delivery layer was further streamlined to 2 (S-F)
2
Typically, increasing frequency of delivery will typically have the same effect as increasing the number of
health facilities by a factor of the increase in delivery frequency, while keeping the inter health facility
distance constant
3
Increasing the available number of days per delivery cycle to include weekends, reduces the cost per
delivery on the average; as more health facilities can now be covered with available fleet of vehicles
4
Cheaper automobile options (including motorcycles and tricycles) may be used to substitute trucks to make
vaccine deliveries between LGAs or zones to the health facilities, to reduce the vaccine delivery cost
5 Outsourcing the transportation of vaccines to a 3PL increases the delivery cost due to the efficiency and
innovations that private organizations typically introduce
