 Warehouse Management - May 2009 - $495.00
The Warehouse or Distribution Centre is as critical, if not more so, as any other department in an organisation. Its contents alone can account for as much as 90% of the total operating capital of the company.
Traditionally regarded as a place of temporary convenience, incurring costs and generating no returns, the course focuses on modern management techniques to views this differently. Today, the store is considered the most critical cost and revenue-generating centre with the quality of its service having a direct influence on the overall efficiency of the organisation. It is therefore important to ensure that this department is always functioning efficiently and effectively.

Channels of Distribution - May 2009 - $495.00
Channel decisions are among the most critical decisions facing management. The company's chosen channels intimately affect other marketing decisions. The company's pricing depends on whether it uses mass merchandisers or high-quality boutiques. The firm's sales force and advertising decisions depend on how much training and motivation the channel partner requires. In addition, the company's channel decisions involve relatively long-term commitments to other firms. When an automobile manufacturer signs up independent dealers sell its automobiles, the manufacturer cannot buy them out the next day and replace them with company-owned outlets.
Thus, there is a powerful initial tendency in channel arrangements. Therefore management must choose channels with an eye on tomorrow's likely selling environment as well as today's. This is an important area in Supply Chain Management as it determines the level of integration within the logistics pipeline.

work. The results and the methodologies used to complete the task and
