With milk and peanut butter, nonprofit lowers cost to fight childhood malnutrition paid Oracle
Nearly half of all deaths in children under the age of five are attributable to malnutrition, resulting in more than 3 million child fatalities each year, according to
RUTF has been called a “revolution in nutritional affairs” by Doctors Without Borders because it fundamentally changes the way malnourished children are treated. Previously, children suffering from severe acute malnutrition required trained medical professionals providing care in government and corporate funded hospitals and health clinics. The limitations of these in-patient facilities meant only relatively few children could be treated.
MANA got most of its start-up funding from “impact investors” seeking evidence that malnourished children would benefit, and that MANA handles its revenues and expenses responsibly. Still, to continually drive down its manufacturing costs and run a more efficient supply chain, “we needed to invest in automation,” he says., which offers discounted licensing, coaching and support from NetSuite employees. MANA now uses NetSuite to not only automate tracking of its manufacturing processes, equipment, inventory, and shipping operations, but also its costs for raw material, packaging, and direct labor.
