Through this programme, students study key components of efficient material management. They start by comprehending the basics, such as the significance of demand forecasting and effective inventory planning and management techniques. They go into detail on material requirements planning, which is an essential ability to guarantee that the appropriate materials are accessible when needed.

In order to educate students on how to strategically buy materials and efficiently manage the complete supply chain, purchasing and supply chain management are addressed. The training also covers material handling procedures, with a focus on secure and effective ways to move and store things. In order to maximise accessibility and inventory management, learners ultimately get insights into store administration and control, including how to arrange and supervise material storage.
