With the world becoming a global village where people can purchase any product from any part of the world, the increase in importance of strategic stock holding and warehouse location becomes ever more important.

This course will teach you how to carefully manage the location/positioning of your current warehouse, or future warehouses to be. It will allow you to learn a new skill set to correctly identify a strategic location for your warehouse that will optimise your transport costs, customer service and stock holding costs. It is vital that the expansion or growth of a company is managed correctly in the sense that you want to always have sufficient stock as close to the customer as possible while simultaneously investing capital in the correct manner, in other words, not overspending during the expansion.

These methods will guide you in how to carefully manage warehouse expansion in conjunction with your stock, thus saving you, the company, a great deal of expense or capital investment while simultaneously managing (if not increasing) customer service levels as well as most certainly save on transport costs.

Should the above be taken into consideration in your company, you will not only find cost savings and improved customer service on deliveries, but a greater sense of control on your daily operational tasks.
