Short course in fleet management
This course provides delegates with an understanding of how a truly integrated supply chain creates value - for the firm, its supply chain partners and its shareholders. Delegates get to tap into a realistic business environment using sophisticated computerised simulation where teams are challenged to run their own businesses and achieve their business objectives. Delegates are taught how to align supply, production, distribution and demand, and then how to run the supply chain process.
Although investing in fleet management training might be perceived as unnecessary and costly by some companies, experts suggest a trained fleet manager could help reduce the cost of running company vehicles by 15%.
