Set the minimum documentation for transport route optimisation that is genuinely necessary, and stop there.
Building Strategies to Optimise Transport Routes and Reduce Delivery Time
Move transport route optimisation from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Single sourcing on transport route optimisation looks efficient until the day it is not. A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside the procurement and supply operations discipline. What blocks progress on this strand of procurement and supply operations is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants who influence transport route optimisation without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. It concentrates on the parts of this aspect of procurement and supply operations that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what the practice within procurement and supply operations has actually achieved. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of transport route optimisation rather than to abstract argument. Mature organisations treat this part of procurement and supply operations as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The final session converts the week's work on this strand of procurement and supply operations into commitments with owners and dates.
