1 Data Collection & Analysis
The importance of recording sufficient data accurately and in the most
appropriate format, and the analysis and use of that data. Modules 2 & 3 Storage Equipment & Mobile Equipment
The principles underlying storage design, a review of storage systems
and their characteristics, the importance of handling equipment
selection and the conflict between product access and space
utilisation. Case Study 1
Comparison of Palletised Warehousing Systems Short cut methods

The case studies used in this course are designed to illustrate how the
basic costs for a warehouse design can be developed. The first case study
develops the cost parameters from a blank sheet of paper. The second
case study develops the ideas further to calculate the equipment and
manning levels needed to effectively run a warehouse using differing types
of equipment.

The course is held in a fully equipped specialist training centre with a range of recreational facilities available to make your stay more pleasant. The course fee is inclusive of lunch, refreshments and a full set of extensive course notes which are separately bound for each module and case study, forming an invaluable source of information.
