About the programme

Course Overview

A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside warehouse and automated inventory control. Single sourcing on inventory control looks efficient until the day it is not. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the practice within procurement and supply operations under scrutiny. Every module pairs a short input on warehouse and automated inventory control with structured practice on the participant's own material. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this area of procurement and supply operations, in large organisations and small ones alike. Ambition around inventory control outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. It concentrates on the parts of warehouse and automated inventory control that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The most reliable predictor of sound inventory control is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The final session converts the week's work on this aspect of procurement and supply operations into commitments with owners and dates.
