Calculating Order Quantities and the eLMIS
This topic focuses on calculating order quantities using OQ = Max - SOH, where Max = AMC x 3. You will practice determining AMC and applying the formula for regular and emergency orders. It also introduces Zambia's Electronic LMIS (eLMIS), which automates these calculations. You'll learn about its role, editions (Central, Facility, Hub), and functions. For Zambian students, manual calculation mastery is essential for understanding the logic, while eLMIS familiarity prepares you for digital tools used in health facilities. This is a core competency tested in exams.
