Artificial Intelligence in Distribution Management
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme examines how the practice is shifting, and what delegates should adopt, adapt or ignore. It works through supplier performance measurement and bid adjudication as they stand today and where they are heading. The shift is worth understanding because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price. Delegates leave able to work confidently with logistics management, warehouse operations and demand planning in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve logistics management within their own organisation, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Make a decision about warehouse operations without waiting for a specialist
- Take ownership of demand planning rather than escalating it
- Put inventory optimisation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
