Every time stock moves from a central warehouse to a subsidiary store, it passes through a window where it can be lost, miscounted or delayed — and in a company with dozens of branches, that window opens hundreds of times a week.

Storage is one of the oldest functions people have practised, and its importance has only grown as companies rely on networks of subsidiary stores to keep goods close to demand. Managing that network well means understanding the documentation, transfer procedures and relationship between main and branch stores that keep inventory records accurate.

This Arab British Fellowship Training Academy course develops the skills needed to plan, document and monitor stock movement between subsidiary stores — minimising discrepancies, losses and delays across the network.

• Understand stock-movement concepts and the role of subsidiary stores in the supply chain
• Apply documentation and procedures for effective inter-store inventory transfers
• Use data analytics and KPIs to monitor and improve stock movement
• Select inventory-control systems suited to tracking multi-branch stock
• Plan logistics and manage costs associated with inter-store transfers
• Build a comprehensive stock-movement plan with regular review protocols
