Managing Logistics (Transport, Materials Storage and Materials Handling)

Take the lead in developing a coherent upstream logistics strategy.

Inward logistics contributes critically to your company’s success. And, in an increasingly competitive landscape, taking a strategic approach has become essential. Senior managers must see upstream operations as part of an integrated logistics channel, taking into account not only supplier partnerships and internal systems but also, critically, how their work responds to the demand chain and, ultimately, to customer satisfaction.

This course equips your experienced senior logistics management staff with the knowledge and skills to develop a logistics strategy that will support your business objectives consistently and robustly.
