    Distribution strategy continues to be at the core of logistics excellence

    Distribution strategy continues to be at the core of logistics excellence. Companies that feature joined up, well integrated and efficient distribution networks benefit from reduced lead time, increased customer service and the liberty of expanding the logistics footprint in relation to customer clusters. In an age of increasing globalisation, more demanding customers and constantly changing consumer trends, companies are investing significantly more time, money and planning focus on optimising the distribution strategy. Outsourcing, network optimisation, distribution centre design and promoting the green revolution comprise key focal points on the modern day distribution agenda. Attend this 2-day journey into distribution excellence to identify strategic bottlenecks and drive network efficiency.

    "Distribution Is the Heartbeat of Logistics"

    Distribution drives the logistics train. If it lacks global efficiency, integration and synchronisation, it is destined for break down.
