- 2. What is Quantification? - 1 2 Quantification is the process of - estimating quantities and costs of products - required for a specific health program - during a specific period and - determining when the products should be delivered - to ensure uninterrupted supply of the program
- 3. What is Quantification? - 2 3 It has two major parts: • Forecasting: Estimating the quantities and costs of products required to meet customer demand that will be used during a particular time frame • Supply Planning: Determining the quantities required to fill the supply pipeline, costs, and arrival dates of shipments

- 6. Prerequisites to Quantification For right product Selection 1. Clear, well-defined and disseminated o STGs o Testing protocols & Laboratory testing menus for specific products used 2, Ensure service providers follow/adhere the STGs For right Quantification Data availability and quality - Strong LMIS, HMIS 6 STANDARDIZATION
