This training course helps participants improve forecasting accuracy, optimise inventory levels, reduce unnecessary costs, and strengthen supply planning processes. It also provides practical approaches for improving collaboration across procurement, warehousing, operations, and logistics functions while enhancing overall supply chain performance.

The training course also explores planning techniques that help reduce carrying costs, minimise stockouts, and prevent waste while maintaining required service levels.

The Certified in Planning and Inventory Management training course is highly relevant for professionals responsible for inventory control, supply planning, procurement, logistics, warehousing, and materials management.
