This is really amazing. They first looked into what the problem was (lack of proper-length screws for surgical procedures) and checked to see what caused it. It turned out that the problem wasn't a lack of screws in general, there was actually a surplus of screws shipped from developed countries. The problem was inventory management and knowing what size screws needed to be stocked at any given time, because there was no inventory feedback loop. Inventory management and a feedback loop are reasons why we don't have the need for on-site screw cutters in the developed world. The solution was to engineer portable, high-quality screw cutters to cut-to-length screws they had on hand. Would another (maybe better/easier/less complex/quicker?) way to solve this problem be to use software/internet to create the necessary feedback loop to enable proper inventory management so that they had the proper screws on hand versus having to cut down long screws?
