Overview

Ensure that stock is available when the customer needs it – and in the best possible condition

A 5-day course.

Description

Your customers expect you to deliver stock when they need it, and in the best possible condition. Exceeding those expectations is at the heart of any effective procurement and logistics strategy.

The success of this strategy depends directly on the skills of your front-line warehouse staff and storage supervisors. Doing the job right is just the first step. Your managers must display consistently sound decision-making, care and forethought – values that apply in the stockroom just as much as in the board room.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the storage regime and environment most appropriate to the stock in their care
  • Manage, organise and operate the systems and processes to provide the best possible care for materials
  • Maintain the highest health, safety and environmental standards
  • Provide the highest possible level of customer service

Topic covered will include:

  • Storage systems
  • Warehouse and yard design and layout
  • Management of mechanical handling equipment operations
  • Hazardous materials: storage and transport
  • Dangerous goods: international regulations
  • Industrial compressed gases: storage and transport
  • Petroleum products: storage and transport
  • Laboratory chemicals: storage and transport
  • Bagged and drummed chemicals: storage and transport
  • Drummed acids and corrosives: storage and transport
  • Vehicle and equipment routine maintenance
  • Health, safety and environmental management in logistics operations
  • Preservation of materials and equipment in storage
  • Manual handling

Who is this course for?

We have designed this course for line supervisors who are responsible for stock management, including storage, handling and transport. The course will also be suitable for newly recruited graduates on management development programmes.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
