Course Overview
Savings claimed on rapid picking and packing at signature are frequently lost during execution. Warehouse performance on picking and packing is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. They leave able to brief senior management on the wider procurement and supply operations agenda in terms that support a decision. The level assumes working familiarity with the supply function but no prior formal training in rapid picking and packing. The course covers this strand of procurement and supply operations at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Applied research in procurement and supply operations consistently shows that early structure around picking and packing reduces downstream rework. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of rapid picking and packing and supervised application. Improvement in picking and packing stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the practice within procurement and supply operations that would make a visible difference.
