About

This page contains a program called SimPLER, which helps plan and manage Point of Dispensing (POD) sites. It lets users input details about the POD setup, population needs, and resources to estimate how many people can be served. The program provides data on average throughput and time spent at the POD. It also offers optimization features to improve efficiency by suggesting resource scenarios that meet goals within limits like staff numbers or wait times. Users can view hourly breakdowns for up to 24 hours after opening. Links are provided for more information about the program.
