Course Description
Logistics is looked upon as a key corporate leverage point for simultaneously increasing shareholder and customer value. However, the formal links between logistics performance, cost, and value are not yet well defined.
Productivity translates into operating and capital cost reductions and increases shareholder value. Improve your logistics performance in customer service, fill rate, response time, inventory turns, receivables, transportation efficiencies, and warehousing.
Learn the link between logistics performance, cost, and shareholder value; define a full and complementary set of logistics performance benchmarks; and see how to use logistics performance gap analysis to justify new logistics initiatives.
