Overview

The rise of e-commerce continuously impacts the warehousing industry today. As consumer demands increase, so does the need for efficient warehouse operations and distribution centres for order fulfillment duties and solutions.

This programme is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively manage warehouse operations and optimise fulfilment performance through market-ready digital solutions, devices, and Internet Of Things, driven by market demands and consumer expectations. Learners will learn the e-fulfillment process in the e-commerce industry, insights into inventory movement within warehouses, challenges faced and Best Demonstrated Practices (BPDs) associated with warehouse operations.

By the end of this programme, participants will be proficient in identifying the intricacies of the processes involved, recognising opportunities for improvement, and recommending solutions to refine the corresponding process requirements.

This module is available on a standalone basis.
