In this seminar we look at each of the key warehousing processes, i.e. inbound, storage, picking and despatch. Through the use of presentations, case studies and simulations we show how participants can get more into and out of their warehouses.
Course content:
The areas covered on the day include setting the warehouse in context, warehouse design using appropriate tools and techniques, and how the correct inbound and storage strategy can ensure stock integrity is maintained, using interactive discussion and illustrated by sample case studies. There will be an interactive discussion on outbound best practice, illustrated by a simulation. As part of the day there will be the opportunity to understand the influence of technology within the warehouse, giving some useful insights into making processes more efficient.
