This one day course is based on the Essentials of Profitable Warehouse Operations© course created by ASA. The course is intended to give managers a framework to teach essential warehousing functions to the teams they manage. The content also serves to refresh old concepts and introduce additional operating efficiencies. Topics include:
- The role of the wholesale distributor in the supply chain
- Inventory as cash
- Warehouse security
- Inventory accuracy and cycle counting
- Preventative maintenance programs
- Employee safety
- Facility layout and storage systems
- Inventory movement analysis
- Dead Stock
- The order transaction
- Functional roles in the transaction
- Team leadership and supervision
Most privately held distributors struggle with training. Most training is geared toward product knowledge, sales or data processing functions. The material handling team, the same people who have a significant impact on net profit, receive little or no formal training. Distributors tend to use the shadow or OJT method. Unfortunately, bad habits tend to get passed down from employee to employee. This program will give the operational leaders the tools to create their own internal programs.
This program is designed to appeal to all operational personnel. Branch managers, warehouse managers and key warehouse supervisors are the most common participants. Jason Bader of The Distribution Team is the instructor.
