Course Overview
Warehouse performance on perishable goods handling is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Single sourcing on the practice within procurement and supply operations looks efficient until the day it is not. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the procurement and supply operations discipline is rarely technical. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in perishable goods handling rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. They leave able to brief senior management on the procurement and supply operations capability in terms that support a decision. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this part of procurement and supply operations is examined from more than one functional angle. It concentrates on the parts of perishable goods handling that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this strand of procurement and supply operations and under-invest in testing it. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the practice within procurement and supply operations broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
