Manage guard force competence, supervision and performance on warehouse and distribution security.
Security of Warehouses and Logistics Distribution Centres
A practical programme in warehouse and distribution security for professionals who are accountable for results, not just awareness.
Course Overview
The value of preparation for warehouse and distribution security is only visible on the day it is needed. Most security failures involving distribution security exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the wider corporate security practice agenda rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to warehouse and distribution security in an order their organisation can absorb. Ambition around the corporate security practice capability outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The programme works equally well for those formalising distribution security for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Participants leave with a method for warehouse and distribution security, not a set of opinions about it. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place distribution security among the areas with the widest performance spread. Participants leave with a plan for the wider corporate security practice agenda sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
