Course Overview
Warehouse performance on automated order sorting is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Single sourcing on this aspect of procurement and supply operations looks efficient until the day it is not. A common pattern is strong design of the practice within procurement and supply operations paired with weak follow-through. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting automated order sorting, ready to be adapted internally. It treats this aspect of procurement and supply operations as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Applied research in procurement and supply operations consistently shows that early structure around the practice within procurement and supply operations reduces downstream rework. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of automated order sorting and supervised application. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this part of procurement and supply operations, in large organisations and small ones alike. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this strand of procurement and supply operations that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
