Course Overview
Warehouse performance on returns sorting and disposition is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Single sourcing on sorting and disposition looks efficient until the day it is not. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this area of procurement and supply operations rather than to abstract argument. Most organisations already have a policy on returns sorting and disposition; far fewer can show it working. The course covers the procurement and supply operations capability at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what sorting and disposition has actually achieved. Where returns sorting and disposition is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with sorting and disposition. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of procurement and supply operations that each participant writes for their own organisation.
