Apply the correct customs, international delivery terms and documentation treatment to multimodal transport strategy.
Designing Multimodal Transport Strategies Across Road, Sea and Air
A senior-level treatment of multimodal transport strategy, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
Single sourcing on multimodal transport strategy looks efficient until the day it is not. Inventory tied up in this area of procurement and supply operations is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Progress on this aspect of procurement and supply operations is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting multimodal transport strategy, ready to be adapted internally. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this area of procurement and supply operations among the areas with the widest performance spread. The programme works equally well for those formalising this strand of procurement and supply operations for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for multimodal transport strategy as they go. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this area of procurement and supply operations it covers ends in something applicable. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the practice within procurement and supply operations rather than a set of notes.
