Rising freight costs, port delays, currency swings and fragile supplier bases mean supply chains can no longer be run on experience alone. Organisations need leaders who can model the system, find the biggest cost and service gaps and make decisions that hold under pressure. This ten-day advanced programme builds that capability in depth.
The first half covers end-to-end supply chain strategy, demand forecasting, sales and operations planning, inventory policy and safety stock, network and facility location modelling, and supplier performance. The second half goes deeper into transport routing and mode choice, warehouse layout and slotting, lean and constraint methods, supply chain risk and resilience, digital tools and control towers, and analytics with Excel and Python-based examples. A team project integrates the methods in a full optimisation case and ends with an executive presentation. The programme is aimed at supply chain, logistics, procurement, warehousing and distribution managers, planners, operations heads and consultants in manufacturing, retail, FMCG, health supply, NGOs and government. It runs in classrooms across our cities, online, or in-house, and awards a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can quantify savings opportunities, build a planning model and defend an improvement business case to management.
Supply chains sit between a firm's promises to customers and the realities of suppliers, transport and money. Small improvements in forecast accuracy, inventory turns or truck utilisation can transform margins, while weak planning shows up as stockouts, expiry losses, idle capital and late deliveries. In African and global markets alike, disruption has become routine rather than exceptional.
The Supply Chain and Logistics Optimization Mastery Training Course gives experienced practitioners a rigorous, quantitative toolkit. Participants analyse the end-to-end chain, build forecasts and planning cycles, set inventory policies using service level targets, and design networks and transport plans that balance cost and speed. They study warehouse operations, lean tools and the theory of constraints, then add risk, sustainability and digital capabilities.
Over ten days the learning becomes progressively more applied. Early days establish the models, later days run them on realistic datasets, and the final days bring everything together in a team optimisation project. Participants return with models, dashboards and a business case that address problems in their own operations, backed by figures that finance colleagues will accept.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
