About this course
This course follows a fictional relief operation from needs to donor report, with invented kit standards and no health or nutrition content. You turn registered people into households and kits with ROUNDUP, build a kit bill of materials with SUMPRODUCT and size truck loads by weight and volume, compute pipeline arrival dates with WORKDAY and spot late orders, roll warehouse stock forward with weeks of cover and IF flags, and plan last-mile trips with INT and ROUNDUP. You then measure coverage and transit losses, calculate cost per household and per person, and finish with a budget-vs-actual donor report, an overspend highlight and a chart.
