A fully stocked store can still underperform if the people running it are demotivated, undertrained or working without the right tools — because supply management and human performance are two halves of the same operation, not separate problems.

Storage exists to help a business achieve its objectives, and it has grown, alongside the uncertainty and pace of modern commerce, into a major economic activity that ties up significant capital, space and skilled labour. Getting supply right is only half the equation; the other half is making sure the people managing that supply are equipped, trained and engaged.

This Arab British Fellowship Training Academy course connects supply-chain fundamentals with practical people-management tools — training design, performance metrics, workplace culture — so participants can run stores where supply and staff performance reinforce each other.

• Identify factors affecting employee performance and how supply management influences it
• Design and assess training programmes that build staff skills and productivity
• Use KPIs to evaluate employee effectiveness and inform decisions
