These challenging economic times have highlighted the need to review every aspect of your business. You need to look at new ideas within your business.

For the past two years, businesses have seen customer demand fall, whereas expectations for improved service have continued to rise. Many businesses have been forced to make significant reductions in staff and budget to survive during the economic downturn. The frightening thing is that the recovery could be just as demanding.

• Do you have the infrastructure and plans in place to handle that growth without making significant investments?

• Is your business agile enough to handle the changes that are surely coming?

At the end of this informative and practical course, you will be able to apply your knowledge to a wide range of warehouse management, design and operational issues as well as know what to look for when preparing your business for the inevitable recovery.

Site Visit Delegates will have the opportunity to visit a large modern distribution centre, where you will see some of the latest technologies and trends to increase productivity and accuracy. One of the main benefits you will get from this visit will be how the theory gained from the course can be applied in an operational environment. This is a very rare opportunity to see firsthand what technologies are available within the region and to speak to the operational management who drive the processes.
