Research On Risk Management Of Supply Chain Based On FMEA Method-A Case Of Multi-drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) In Kabutare District Hospital

This research is aimed at assessing the supply chain risk management at Kabutare District Hospital.Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis taken as a case study is exposed to many risks.These risks disrupt the supply of MDR-TB drugs in many ways such as their quality,quantity and storage conditions.This research is attempted to determine the risk in the supply chain management of MDR-TB using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis method that is widely used in many industries to assess the accuracy of a process and the inherent risks.To accomplish this study,the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences(SPSS)was used in analyzing the data.This was used because it offered a full range of contemporary descriptive statistical methods.It also had the ability to produce output in both report and table formats.To suggest improvements that can be made by using the approach of FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis)ANOVA and multiple regression analysis are used.Data collection techniques in this study was using the method of questionnaires.It was shown that there are four potential failure mode with the most dominant risks level(improper storages,error of data input,damage to products and difficult to manage the inventory).Is found that the hospital specifically department of pharmacy,need to improve the process of storage and improve the service is justified by the fact he is out of control and is perceived as unreliable by hospital staffs.Furthermore,the stock management is not effective they need to improve the current storage method.Recommendation for overcoming these problem are presented.
