Equipping Logistics Staff for Stronger On-the-Job Performance (Online / Remote)
1Summary
Systems and warehouse layouts only perform as well as the people running them – and in logistics, a gap in an employee’s knowledge of materials handling, inventory control or basic risk awareness shows up quickly as a costly mistake. Equipping Logistics Staff for Stronger On-the-Job Performance, from Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, focuses on the people side of logistics, giving frontline and supervisory staff the working knowledge they need to perform reliably day to day.
The programme is grounded in the understanding that logistics management is the process of planning, organising, directing and controlling – efficiently and effectively – the flow and storage of goods, services and related information from origin to consumption, in order to meet customer requirements, and that this is carried out through integrated information systems and economies of scale. Participants see why almost every organisation, public or private, depends on staff who genuinely understand this function rather than simply following instructions.
