Course Overview

Inventory tied up in sustainable warehouse operation is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Warehouse performance on the wider procurement and supply operations agenda is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this area of procurement and supply operations in their own setting. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in sustainable warehouse operation, not around theory headings. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the procurement and supply operations capability is working and when it is only appearing to. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this area of procurement and supply operations outperform teams that only plan it. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on sustainable warehouse operation are used deliberately. Most organisations already have a policy on this part of procurement and supply operations; far fewer can show it working. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the procurement and supply operations capability that would make a visible difference.
