Description
Freight transport is a critical aspect in business and trade, as it provides the link between supply and demand. It is therefore a foundational enabler in economic trade, involving as it does the movement of goods and product trade on a national or international scale. Indeed the growth of global production offshoring in recent years, to countries like China, has brought freight transport into a sharper focus, as organisations increasingly try to balance cost with service reliability and inventory stock levels.
The Fundamentals of Transport Logistics 2011 is the only distance learning course which focuses specifically on the management and mechanics of the freight transport link in the supply chain, covering all modes of transportation. This logistics training course provides a comprehensive grounding in all aspects of freight transport, and how they fit in to the broader logistics function. The training course will help both freight users and operators understand the crucial role played by transport management in the global movements of goods and materials.
This essential supply chain training places the day-to-day operation of transport logistics within a global strategic framework. It gives an understanding of key transport systems and processes while introducing logistics management tools. All of this is placed in the context of global trade.
