Supply Chain Cost Evaluation Consultant - Chemonics

Chemonics is seeking a supply chain cost evaluation consultant to work with the Ghana Ministry of Health to assess and evaluate the implementation of the Ghana Logistics Management Information System (GHiLMIS) to analyze existing cost of services and identifying areas for costs savings during systems implementation.

The objective of this assignment will be to conduct a cost evaluation of the current Ghana Supply Chain. This will include analysis of existing cost of service for the execution of supply chain functions, prior to the implementation of the GhiLMIS, to establish a benchmark to evaluate the post-implementation of the GhiLMIS to establish return on investment, which will in turn contribute to the sustainability strategy for the Government of Ghana. The evaluation will focus on a cost and cost-effectiveness analysis and will create non-experimental pre-design or other equivalent methodologies to establish the performance of the current system.

• Analyze current supply chain and its total cost drivers, benchmarking the results of the analysis to use as KPIs for the post implementation evaluation; review and validate the analysis outcomes with end users and develop a list of risks, limitations, procedure documents, and recommendations
• Project and produce finalization and report writing

• Evaluate current supply chain operational costs; identify costs at each value chain tier (central, regional, and service delivery point) and for each of four key supply chain functions: procurement, storage, transport, and management
