Logistics and Physical Distribution

Why Should You Attend:

Competence in logistics and transportation is an important component to the overall export process. Assigning responsibility to a staff member to evaluate the various weights and measurements of potential shipments in different modes of transport is a good place to start understanding the quoting and shipping process.

Analyzing the different services of freight forwarders, airlines, steamship lines, inland carriers, packing companies and marine cargo insurance providers is a task which should benefit the company greatly, whether it be for the first-time exporter or one that is considering expansion into the overseas marketplace. This training program will explore how working together with export assistance agencies and export service providers will aid the progress and profits of the exporter.

Apart from an introduction to logistics and physical distribution, the course will also cover:
