An Intensive 10-day Training Course

Excellence in Warehouse and Inventory

Best Practices for Managing & Improving Warehouse,
Inventory and Stock Control Operations

INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Effective warehouse and inventory management is a vital component of any successful procurement and supply chain strategy. It plays a crucial role in maintaining cost efficiency, ensuring product availability, and delivering consistent, high-quality customer service.

Despite its importance, warehousing and inventory control are often undervalued or mismanaged—leading to excess costs, supply disruptions, and dissatisfied customers. This Excellence in Warehouse and Inventory training course is designed to challenge that perception and demonstrate the significant value that optimized warehouse and inventory practices can bring to an organization.

Through this engaging and practical KC Academy training course, participants will:

  • Evaluate existing processes and identify opportunities for improvement
  • Learn how to eliminate inefficiencies and reduce unnecessary expenses
  • Gain hands-on experience with essential warehouse and inventory tools
  • Master the skills needed to transform underperforming operations
  • Explore real-world applications in a dynamic and interactive learning environment

This training course is split into two modules:

Module I - Warehouse & Stores Management

Module II - Inventory & Stock Control Management

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.
