Course Overview
Warehouse performance on expired inventory handling is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Inventory tied up in the practice within procurement and supply operations is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this strand of procurement and supply operations that were visible long before the incident. Participants finish able to explain expired inventory handling to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. It treats the practice within procurement and supply operations as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Improvement in the procurement and supply operations discipline stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in expired inventory handling rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the wider procurement and supply operations agenda are used deliberately. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of procurement and supply operations that would make a visible difference.
