Designing a Humanitarian Supply Chain for Flood Relief in Bangladesh
Overview
What this challenge is about.
As a humanitarian logistics analyst, you must develop a supply chain strategy for AidNow's flood response. Tasks include: selecting warehouse locations, choosing transportation modes (road, river, air), and creating inventory pre-positioning plans.
