DHL and Cranfield training for warehouse managers

Since January this year, nearly sixty warehouse managers have attended the two day programme, covering issues as Planning & Control, Labour Management, Warehouse Layout, Materials Handling, Goods in and Putaway, Picking and Packing, and Loading. 

On completion of the course, and with mentoring from a nominated senior management representative, each delegate will be tasked with producing a detailed Site Assessment Action Plan to deliver cost savings, with progress regularly tracked and reviewed.

"In the current economic climate when we’re looking at every aspect of supply chain efficiency, the missing piece of the jigsaw lay in ensuring our warehouse managers had the latest skills and techniques at their disposal to drive continuous improvement in our customers’ supply chains,” explains Chris Sharp, MD Operational Excellence at DHL Supply Chain.

"I’m delighted that Cranfield shared our vision and were keen to work with us to develop a program tailored specifically to warehouse practitioners. Already the results have been dramatic, with delegates making significant efficiency savings.”
