Apply the correct customs, international delivery terms and documentation treatment to safety stock management.
Building Safety Stock Management Systems and Preventing Sudden Stock-Outs
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run safety stock management properly.
Course Overview
A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside safety stock management. Warehouse performance on this strand of procurement and supply operations is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the procurement and supply operations capability, in large organisations and small ones alike. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from safety stock management, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Applied research in procurement and supply operations consistently shows that early structure around the wider procurement and supply operations agenda reduces downstream rework. They leave able to brief senior management on the practice within procurement and supply operations in terms that support a decision. Ambition around safety stock management outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this part of procurement and supply operations, not around theory headings. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the procurement and supply operations discipline that would make a visible difference.
