What will I learn?
You will learn how distribution networks are structured, how goods and information flow through them, and how to measure their performance. You will develop demand forecasting skills using both quantitative and collaborative methods, then apply those forecasts to inventory and replenishment decisions. The course covers warehouse layout, picking strategies, and storage systems alongside transport mode selection and freight cost management. You will use facility location models and total cost analysis to design and optimise network configurations. Technology platforms including WMS, TMS, and ERP systems are examined in detail. The course also addresses global distribution, e-commerce fulfilment, 3PL management, and sustainability practices.
