Goals/Scope

        • In push (allocation) based supply chains, vaccines are directly delivered to the level below instead of the level going to pick up the vaccines from the level above. This page captured the functionality requests for the personas responsible for distributing and for those receiving the distribution.
        • In push based SCs, users will input data using this functionality when they are in the middle of their distribution workflow at the storage point receiving this distribution.

Background

Are there any country specific features that should be noted? Who are the personas? Who are the users that will be interacting with this functionality? What are their challenges, responsibilities, and level of connectivity? These personas are intended to be representative archetypes of the key stakeholders who will participate in theses workflows/scenarios. 

Personas involved:

Intermediate Level Logistician/Distributor/Field Coordinator ( responsible for actual distribution of products and for inputing the data that this feature functionality will serve)

Assumptions

  • What are technical or business specific details and characteristics that should be known to explain the environment? List the assumptions you have such as user, technical or other business assumptions. (e.g. users will primarily access this features from a tablet).

User Stories

Short, simple description of a feature told from the perspective of the person who desires the new capability, usually a user or customer of the system.

1Distribution Visit Observations

As a FC/distributor/logistician, I want to record information ("observations") from my visit to a drop-off facility/district depot so that a record exists with my distribution visit details. I want to record the following:

  • Facility I am visiting
  • Date of visit
  • If I did not visit, the reason for doing so in the form of multiple choice options (pre-determined with EPI program in my country i.e. CONFIGURABLE BY ADMIN)
  • My name and title
  • The receiver at the drop-off location's name and title confirming my visit
