This five-day course strengthens practical expertise in supply chain operations and inventory optimisation, helping participants address inconsistent processes, quality failures, resource constraints and gaps in operational accountability. The programme combines relevant management principles with tools for diagnosing workplace problems, improving controls and monitoring results. Participants use realistic cases to evaluate processes, interpret evidence and recommend workable improvements. An applied final exercise connects the course methods with organisational priorities and supports a structured action plan for sustained operational performance.
