There has been a long‐recognized need of Central Medical Stores Depot (CMSD) staff for a complete collection of documents representing the up‐to‐date warehouse management
standard operating procedures (SOPs) of CMSD: there was no such resource capturing all the
operational procedures, circulars, registers, office orders, and so on used in the different sections
involved in CMSD’s logistical activities. In answer to this need, CMSD management has taken the initiative to develop a single volume containing all the required documents they have been adopted into existing procedures over the years of operation.
