In nine chapters, this course provides warehouse and supervisor-track employees with knowledge of all major functions of a modern wholesale-distributor’s warehouse. Beginning with an explanation of how the wholesale-distribution business works, the course moves quickly to introduce key members of the warehouse team and explains how they contribute to an effective operation. Next comes an in-depth treatment of the orderly flow of materials from receiving through stocking, picking, packaging and delivery. Critical concerns like safety and security are also well covered. The course wraps up with examples of continuous improvements and how the warehouse employee can grow as a professional within the distribution business.
The course includes the course book, self-tests, final exam, and a certificate of completion for those who pass the exam. It can be taken as a single course or taught in groups.
