The winner of this year’s 2021 Supply Chain Innovation Award (SCIA) was announced at CSCMP’s EDGE 2021 Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition in Atlanta, Georgia, in September. Vita Nosulenko, who works in business development at Farmasoft, a pharmaceutical logistics company, and Sergey Strashuk, senior technical advisor of procurement and supply chain at the medication management company Management Sciences for Health (MSH), received the award for developing a pilot program using a private pharmaceutical logistics company for last-mile delivery of HIV and TB medicines in the Ukraine.
In their submission, “Ukraine: Tapping a Private Fleet to Get Medicines to the Last Mile,” Nosulenko and Strashuk explained the pilot program’s evolution, methods, results, and lessons learned, along with recommendations for a national scale-up program. By enlisting the services of a private pharmaceutical logistics company for last-mile distribution of HIV and tuberculosis (TB) medicines, MSH’s approach aimed to streamline fragmented public sector logistics services while following supply chain best practices and improving patient outcomes.
The other top five proposals included:
Each year at the EDGE conference, CSCMP hosts the SCIA program, a live competition in which a panel of judges join conference attendees to hear presentations on innovative solutions and real-world results from top supply chain companies.
