Goals/Scope

  • Estimates of the product is displayed/viewable in multiple views, such as – estimates of all products for a certain facility, district, store, province, region, etc; need estimates of a single product over multiple time periods (month, six weeks, quarters, years, etc).

Background

Assumptions

    • Users will primarily access this information in close conjecture with the features in the "delivery/re-supply domain"
    • In push based SCs, users will reference this information when estimating how to package deliveries to an area and load the cold box/distribution truck
    • In pull based SCs, users will reference this information when estimating how much to request for their next order
    • In both scenarios, it is likely that while users will "View" this information online, they would also take a print out of the page to show in meetings, with supervisors etc so that needs to be considered

User Stories

#TitleUser StoryLabelImportanceNotes
1View Needs Estimates for Facilities in a districtAs a district EPI supervisor, I want to view the "calculated" needs estimates for all the facilities in my district so that I can ensure the stock in my district depot is enough to meet their needs via next scheduled re-supply and so I know when to place a requisition order from the level above for additional stock.SELVVERY Nice to have
  • I didn't know how to write this up in teh story – but it's not just about viewing the needs for a facility – but having a calculator option that allows me to look at needs for all facilities dependent on me, then subtract what I already have in my storage, and then see what the difference is which I need to order from level above.
2View Needs Estimates for Storage Points under a specific intermediate storeAs an intermediate vaccine store manager, I want to view the calculated needs estimates for all the storage points dependent on me (district depots, zonal depots, etc) so that I can ensure the stock in my district depot is enough to meet their needs via next scheduled re- and so I know when to place a requisition order from the level above for additional stock.SELVVERY Nice to have
  • Same point as above on being able to compare what I have versus what depots need from me and then ordering the difference from level above.
3View needs estimates via multiple optionsAs a district EPI supervisor and/or intermediate store manager, I want to view the estimates in multiple ways – view all estimates for a particular facility, view all estimates for a particular time period for a single product or all products, view estimates for a single product across multiple time periods and selection of facilities/storage points/etc.
