Mapping long-term development efforts and responding to healthcare or humanitarian challenges often involves uncertainty in timing, scope, or scale. Pre-planning for these efforts requires an understanding of various topics such as forecasting, distribution, network design, and inventory management. This course will examine methods and models for making pre-planning decisions and explore the significant value that is obtained through informed decision-making in advance of an unpredictable event or long-term strategy for sustaining wellness.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003EWHO SHOULD ATTEND\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis course is designed for tactical and strategic members of non-governmental organizations and private corporations involved in the humanitarian relief efforts, as well as U.S. federal, state and local government employees; humanitarian foundation members; program managers; directors of field operations; disaster relief managers; directors of logistics and inventory; and logistics officers.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003EHOW YOU WILL BENEFIT\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EProvide immediate impact to your organization through learnings gained from applied and real-world case studies.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ELearn to bring NGOs, businesses, or government entities together to enhance collaboration, cooperation, and communication.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EDiscover current trends and procedures to help organizations and team members get and stay ahead of the curve.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EBuild a critical knowledge base to make tactical decisions around inventory, routing, and distribution.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EDeliver best practices to measure and evaluate outcomes of humanitarian relief efforts.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ETransform the humanitarian sector with increased capacity to participate in planning and strategic decision-making for effective supply-chain management.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003EWHAT IS COVERED\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EAnalytical models\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EA network approach\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EForecasting techniques\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EUncertain events strategies\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003ECOURSE MATERIALS\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProvided\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EParticipants receive readings, case studies, spreadsheet files, and lecture slides, and will be given access to the pre-course web-based activities.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERecommended\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EStudents need a laptop with Microsoft Excel and the ability to connect to a high-speed internet connection (internet access is provided for onsite portions of course).\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003ESTUDENT REQUIREMENTS\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStudents need a laptop with Microsoft Excel and the ability to connect to a high-speed internet connection (internet access is provided for onsite portions of course).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003ECOURSE PREREQUISITES\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor those interested in earning the Health and Humanitarian Supply Chain Management Certificate,\u0026nbsp;this course is the first\u0026nbsp;of the three-course certificate program.
