Introduction to Distribution Management

The pace of business has significantly increased in recent years. Consumers expect almost instantaneous responses to their needs. We have got used to receiving the goods we order on-line within hours – not days. Ensuring you have the most effective distribution channels and operational logistics has never been so important. In this module look at the component parts of a modern distribution network, and some of the key decisions that need to be made when designing your distribution channels to optimize performance. We will look at those decisions at a strategic, tactical and operational level, explore the options and some of the considerations you should take into account when developing a successful distribution strategy.
