The "Warehouse Management Course and Inventory Performance & Control Measures" is designed to provide professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to efficiently manage warehouse operations and control inventory performance. The course offers an in-depth look at how warehouses function as a key component of the supply chain, focusing on optimizing space, improving workflows, and implementing technologies for better operational control.

Participants will learn the fundamentals of warehouse operations, including layout design, material handling, and processes such as receiving, picking, and shipping. The course covers best practices in space utilization and how to leverage automation and advanced technologies for more efficient warehouse operations.

Inventory control is another key focus area, with lessons on how to optimize stock levels and use various inventory management techniques such as Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), Just-In-Time (JIT), and ABC analysis. The course also introduces participants to real-time inventory tracking systems and technologies such as warehouse management systems (WMS) and RFID for accurate inventory tracking and reduced errors.

Participants will explore essential performance metrics for both warehouse operations and inventory control. Key performance indicators (KPIs) like inventory turnover, warehouse productivity, and stock accuracy will be examined, helping learners understand how to measure and improve performance. Additionally, the course covers safety and compliance best practices, ensuring participants can maintain safe and regulatory-compliant warehouse environments.

The course concludes with a focus on sustainability, teaching participants green warehousing techniques and how to minimize waste while optimizing energy use. Case studies, real-world examples, and practical exercises ensure participants can apply what they’ve learned to their own organizations.
