Warehouse Management - September, 2012 - $495.00

The Warehouse or Distribution Centre is as critical, if not more so, as any other department in an organisation. Its contents alone can account for as much as 90% of the total operating capital of the company.

Traditionally regarded as a place of temporary convenience, incurring costs and generating no returns, the course focuses on modern management techniques to views this differently. Today, the store is considered the most critical cost and revenue-generating centre with the quality of its service having a direct influence on the overall efficiency of the organisation. It is therefore important to ensure that this department is always functioning efficiently and effectively.

Supply Chain Management - September, 2012 - $495.00

The supply chain runs from your vendors through to your customer's doors. There are no quick fixes, but the financial rewards of increased sales and lower costs are there for the taking. Implementation of supply chain management could be key to making you a 'best-of-class' supplier.

Purchasing & Management - September, 2012 - $495.00

Adequate inventory is critical in ensuring the continuity of operations within any industry. However, inventory investment can be a very expensive affair. The direct costs of carrying inventory depress profits and ties up much needed finance. Only through effective inventory management can we provide this support without over-committing the organisation's funds. Purchasing & Inventory Management (PIM) is past gaining prominence as a key area in ensuring competitiveness and is considered more and more to be a professional area where relevant skills and expertise are important.

International Transportation - September, 2012 - $495.00

Almost every international shipment travels on more than one mode form its origin to its destination. Recent efforts have attempted to reduce transit times and costs by increasing the various modes compatibility and by trying new mode communications.

Shipping air/sea has two advantages. One, the cost of the combined modes is less than that of an all-air movement. Two, it is much faster than any of the available all-surface modes. Modern container ships can make Pacific crossing from Japan to Seattle in ten days. When we combine this with the air leg from Seattle to Europe, total transit time will range from ten to fourteen days. This is approximately one-third of the all-ocean transit time and one-half of the land bridge time. The in-transit inventory savings will outweigh the increased cost of the premium modes. The ability to evaluate and effectively decide on such issues will separate the true logistician from the 'practitioner'.
