Supply chain logistics

Have you ever wondered how goods get to us so quickly after we order them? One word: Logistics! In this introductory course on supply chain logistics, I take you on a journey through this fascinating backbone of global trade. We will look at the three main building blocks of logistics networks: transportation, warehousing, and inventory. By the end of this course, you will be able to differentiate between the advantages and disadvantages of different modes of transportation. You will understand what goes into designing and building warehouse facilities. Finally, you will be able to choose the options that will allow you to create logistics networks that minimize costs and provide the highest levels of customer service. This is an introductory course designed to give you a head start on your logistics education. You do not need to have any formal education in logistics, but it will help if you have a basic understanding of business concepts. Join me as we explore logistics together!
