Warehouse Management - April, 2013 - $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.
