Warehouse and Distribution Management

What Will I Learn?

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.
