An Intensive 5-day Training Course

Integrated Inventory and
Warehouse Management

Understanding the Principles of Applying Appropriate Inventory Methods

INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Inventory management plays a pivotal role in operational efficiency, as inventory represents a significant portion of a company’s current assets. However, holding inventory carries inherent risks—chief among them is the potential decline in the value of items over time. Whether it's spare parts or finished goods, inventory left unused or mismanaged can lead to financial losses, reduced asset value, and diminished company equity.

This Integrated Inventory and Warehouse Management training course focuses on strategies for recognizing and minimizing the often-overlooked costs of carrying inventory. As organizations strive to reduce expenses, a strategic review of warehouse stock and inventory practices can reveal valuable cost-saving opportunities that directly enhance profitability.

The training course emphasizes practical tools and approaches to optimize inventory, improve visibility, and enhance the integration between inventory control, procurement, and supply chain functions.

Key learning outcomes include:

  • Understanding inventory’s role within the broader supply chain
  • Applying segmentation and visibility techniques for inventory classification
  • Identifying criteria for appropriate stocking levels
  • Exploring tools for inventory optimization
  • Recognizing the impact of procurement and contracts on inventory levels
  • Learning how lean inventory practices contribute to cost reduction and profitability
