Managing the Corporate Transport Function

Course details

Corporate transport management has strategic importance for your organisation. In an increasingly competitive market, cutting costs has become just one element of success; managers need to consider delivery times, flexibility and innovation when choosing suppliers and contractors. Financial, technical and negotiation skills are now as essential as the specialised skills of logistics.
