1. COURSE OBJECTIVES
The Warehouse and Distribution Management module is designed to provide insights into warehouse design and operations, distribution management, good practice transport planning and the role technology can play in supporting this key value adding function.
Configuring and managing the warehousing and distribution operation is key to the achievement of a company’s customer service and cost management goals. With organisations competing on speed, reliability and flexibility and the ever increasing pressure for extended product ranges, shorter product life-cycles, customised delivery options and effective and efficient reverse logistics, warehouse and distribution functions are seen as a key driver of organisational success. Designing, implementing and managing efficient and effective warehouse and distribution infrastructure and process often requires enhanced capability across all personnel and a general up-skilling of the function.
