Every day a shipment sits in the wrong bay or a stock count goes wrong, a company loses money it never gets back — and that is exactly where logistics control earns its value. Logistics, known in Arabic as "the science of managing flow", covers how goods, information, and resources move from the point of production to the point of consumption, and no trade or industrial process can run without it.

This training course builds the practical competencies needed to plan and control materials inside a real workplace: sizing stock correctly to avoid tying up cash in warehousing costs, and putting safeguards in place against loss and theft. By the end, participants can put these skills to work immediately in their own operations.
