International Logistics Planning
A practical programme in international logistics planning, connecting working concepts with team decisions and relevant workplace examples.
About the Course
This programme develops a working approach to international logistics planning in the context of sourcing, contract performance and delivery choices. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on transport options, shipment documents and delivery risks. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.
Course Objectives
- Explain the role of transport options and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
- Use a structured worksheet to examine shipment documents and compare reasonable alternatives.
- Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to delivery risks.
- Prepare an option comparison with cost, service and exposure considerations for discussion with a supply-chain team.
- Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.
