The program moves beyond traditional "warehouse operations" and "stock control" concepts to examine how warehouses and inventory function as critical components of the end-to-end supply chain. Participants will learn how to design and manage efficient warehouse operations, optimize storage and material flow, improve receiving and order fulfillment, establish effective inventory policies, improve stock accuracy, manage replenishment and safety stock, reduce excess and obsolete inventory, and use technology and performance analytics to build high-performing warehouse and inventory operations. The course follows a practical progression: Strategy → Design → Flow → Execution → Inventory Control → Optimization → Digital Transformation → Continuous Improvement

The program uses an interactive, practical, and application-oriented methodology. ➢ Instructor-Led Learning ➢ Practical Examples ➢ Case Studies ➢ Numerical Exercises ➢ Practical calculations involving: • EOQ • Reorder Point • Safety Stock • Inventory Turnover • Days of Supply • Service Levels • Inventory Classification • Warehouse KPIs ➢ Process Mapping ➢ Participants analyze end-to-end warehouse processes from: • Receiving → Put-Away → Storage → Replenishment → Picking → Packing → Dispatch ➢ Interactive Discussions
