Transport management & distribution

In this training course, we give an overview of the various factors and trends that have an impact on the costs and service level of transport. We also pay attention to the management of the partners without going into all the details of the operational processes.

Some of the topics covered during this master class:

• Objectives and dimensions of transport
• Typology of the transport and of the tasks that go together with the fulfilment of the transport order
• the parties to the execution of the transport order
• overview of documents and ground rules
• cost factors of the various modes of transport
• Outsourcing and follow-up of transport tasks
• organisation of return flows
• Concept and functioning of the 'control tower'
• Concepts for TMS, POD and OTIF
• mobility and digitisation of transport
• Roadmap to good transport management

This programme is aimed at everyone who is or will be responsible for transport management and who wants to work together on good terms with the various parties involved in the handling of transport assignments.

Consultants, software specialists, trainers, accountants who need a practical insight into transport are finding here what they ,need to better understand the context of their interventions.

During the e-learning you will have the time to get acquainted with the concepts that will be discussed in the workshop and to practice these in advance. In addition, a forum will also be made available. This will be the 'place' for questions and discussions with fellow students and the teacher. In this way the group dynamics will be strengthened both online and offline.

The 4 digital workshops or the 3 physical workshops are organised at fixed times and both the instructor and all students take part. The workshops serve to provide further clarification of the theory and to make more complex exercises aimed at its practical application. Experiences are also exchanged between the course members. Active participation and dialogue between lecturers and course members is always central to the workshops.
