For too long, inventory has been accepted as “the cost of doing business.” But in a world where stakeholders demand higher returns and leaner operations, unmanaged or obsolete inventory is a silent threat to profitability. Poor inventory decisions increase holding costs, degrade service levels, and tie up capital. This course helps you address these issues head-on with strategies to:
Improve internal customer service
Reduce financial write-offs
Implement high-impact inventory tools at low cost
Align inventory strategy with organisational goals
It goes beyond theory—equipping you with the skills to actively reshape your inventory practices, apply AI-driven insights, and generate measurable improvements in efficiency and responsiveness.
This course is designed for professionals who are directly or indirectly responsible for inventory performance, including:
Materials Managers seeking to optimise stock levels and reduce costs
Warehouse Managers aiming to improve storage efficiency and reduce obsolete inventory
Accountants and Planners looking to support financial performance through smarter inventory decisions
Production Managers and Controllers needing to balance material availability with cost-efficiency
Project Managers and Officers involved in procurement, asset control or materials planning
If you want a robust, strategic framework and hands-on tools to manage inventory across the supply chain, this course is for you.
Across five dynamic days, you will explore every facet of Inventory Management, from foundational concepts to advanced planning techniques:
Day 1 – Strategic Inventory in the Supply Chain: Understand the purpose of inventory, apply classification techniques, and implement JIT principles.
Day 2 – Master Data Management: Address unit measure mismatches, item codification, and configuration management to resolve chronic data issues.
Day 3 – Demand Management: Identify true demand sources, understand customer behaviours, and implement integrated supply/inventory processes.
Day 4 – Dependent vs. Independent Demand: Calculate safety stock, economic order quantity, and material requirements planning using real-world models.
