Design contract terms for warehouse field leadership that make performance measurable and enforceable.
Building Field Leadership Skills for Large Warehouse Managers
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run warehouse field leadership properly.
Course Overview
Most procurement disputes about warehouse field leadership originate in a specification written too quickly. Warehouse performance on this area of procurement and supply operations is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the procurement and supply operations discipline to standardise and which to leave flexible. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with warehouse field leadership. The course sets out a working method for this aspect of procurement and supply operations that participants can apply the week they return. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this part of procurement and supply operations, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Comparative studies of warehouse field leadership across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Plans for the wider procurement and supply operations agenda often fail at the handover point between functions. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this strand of procurement and supply operations sustainable.
