covering:
1) Program launch, data input and control
2) Least cost ration formulation for simple situations
3) Least cost ration formulation for complex situations
(trainees will be taken through the TOOL using various examples)
The duration of the training will be 90 minutes.
The demonstration of three modules is expected to take 70 min, which will be followed by 20 min of Q&A.
