PREREQUISITES

There are no prerequisites for this programme. Prior knowledge on any of the topics is not required.

Overview

Warehousing is a requirement for most businesses that manufacture, import, export or transport goods. The customer journey doesn't end when an order is placed. A warehouse gives you better control over your inventory and ensures that customers will receive their products on time, which ultimately leads to higher profits.

This module is designed to provide participants with a foundational understanding of logistics operations management, specifically focusing on warehousing and distribution. The course is relevant to all levels of individuals, as an introductory training to logistics and distribution operations management.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the core concepts and techniques important to analysing business logistics problems
  • Differentiate the components of logistics systems (stakeholders, transportation, warehousing, and inventory etc.) are related to and interact with each other
  • Measure and manage customer service levels
  • Identify transportation and warehousing trade-off
  • Develop and implement KPIs

Assessment

As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of the course. The mode of assessment, which is up to the trainer’s discretion, may be an online quiz, a presentation or based on classroom exercises.

Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment in order to receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued by Singapore Management University.
