Why Choose Us

The Certificate in Inventory Management Best Practices training course examines how organisations can operate more leanly, effectively and efficiently. It addresses the renewed pressure to reduce costs and investment while maintaining customer service levels, which is essential for world-class performance. Inventory management remains one of the least understood practices in many companies, and managers often overlook its causal relationship with strong business results.

A mechanistic review of minimum and maximum reorder points frequently produces disappointing results. In capital-intensive companies, the value of inventory spares often exceeds the combined value of every other inventory category. Substantial investment, excessive costs and poor stock availability can trigger knee-jerk responses rather than the adoption of sound inventory management principles.

This Certificate in Inventory Management Best Practices training course will highlight:

Reducing investment in inventory
Improving customer satisfaction
Lowering the cost of the inventory management function
Understanding inventory categories within management
Managing Stock Keeping Units according to their priorities
