Materials get lost, miscounted or mismanaged when a company still relies on paper logs and guesswork — and that is exactly the gap DACUM (Decam) software is built to close. This training course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy is for anyone who wants real proficiency working with the program to manage materials using electronic tools that organise the work and make it highly accurate.

DACUM is short for “Developing A Curriculum”, a systematic design method originally used to analyse jobs and map out the training required for them — and it is widely used in the region to build job descriptions across government sectors. Beyond that, the Decam program organises materials management on scientific, data-driven grounds, helping companies know exactly what is in their warehouses, in what quantity and quality, with a high degree of accuracy.
