Description:
A Logistics Management Information System (LMIS) is an IT system that plays a central role in enabling visibility and operational management of a wide supply chain operation. Typically the commodities in this supply chain are health-related, the organization that sponsors the system is a department or agency under a government's health ministry and the operation is carried out at scale for an entire region up to a nation-wide capability. An LMIS typically bridges the health and supply chain operations by enabling re-supply workflows for clinical locations and the vertical programs targeting families of commodities, as well as interfacing with supplier's IT systems to ensure the re-supply process is fulfilled as needed. Particular LMIS tools may have additional capabilities that enhance these re-supply workflows and/or add to the maturity of the wider supply chain operation.
Reasoning for an LMIS to sit in the OHIE Component layer: An LMIS is typically a bridge system between the health enterprise and the supply chain domain. As a bridge system it serves as a central connector for the health enterprise to place requests for resupply with suppliers, track the progress of the fulfillment of that re-supply, and have visibility into how health commodities are being used across the enterprise. In this role an LMIS needs to be integrated with 1) supplier's IT systems, 2) asset and capital management systems (e.g. Lab equipment, CCE, RTMD, etc), 3)
