Warehouse Management for Non-Specialists

Procurement and Supply Chain|2 days|Classroom or live online

Warehouse Management for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through inventory optimisation and logistics management without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supply risk assessment, total cost of ownership and strategic sourcing in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Improve supply risk assessment within their own organisation, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
Spot where total cost of ownership is failing before it becomes a finding
Make a decision about strategic sourcing without waiting for a specialist
Explain contract negotiation to someone who does not do the work
