Transport and Logistics Management Training in Dodoma, Tanzania
Classroom training in Dodoma · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 1,800
Freight is often among the largest controllable costs in a supply chain, and poor transport decisions show up quickly as late deliveries and rising rates. The week opens with network and lane design, comparing road, rail, sea, air and multimodal options on cost, speed and reliability. You will evaluate and select carriers and third-party logistics providers, negotiate rates and service terms, and understand how Incoterms allocate cost and risk. Planning sessions cover load building, shipment consolidation, route optimisation and the role of transport management systems.
Fleet topics include vehicle utilisation, maintenance, fuel management, driver safety and telematics, while compliance sessions address axle-load limits, cargo documentation, customs clearance and dangerous goods rules. Performance is measured through on-time delivery, cost per tonne-kilometre, vehicle turnaround and claims rates, supported by freight audit and invoice checks. Exercises ask you to redesign a delivery network and build a carrier scorecard. Logistics managers, transport officers, fleet supervisors, procurement staff and distribution planners will find it practical. You return equipped to cut transport cost while protecting service levels.

About this course
This 5-day course covers transport and logistics management fundamentals including network design, carrier procurement, shipment planning, and cost control. Participants learn to optimize routes, select appropriate transport modes, manage 3PL relationships, and leverage logistics technology.
Topics include supply chain visibility, last-mile delivery optimization, warehouse-to-customer delivery coordination, and metrics that measure logistics performance and drive continuous improvement in service quality and cost efficiency.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public procurement bodies, commercial supply chains, logistics operations, and donor-funded tendering environments, examining how transport and logistics management is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for strategy and integration, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.

- Develop robust transport and logistics management frameworks that support successful implementation and measurable outcomes.
