Corporate Transportation Fundamentals
Course Info
Course Summary
It is crucial for any organisation to establish an effective transportation function to ensure all resources and products are safely and effectively transported to the desired locations. If an organisation has poor corporate transport, it is guaranteed to have unmanaged costs, poor productivity, and a high amount of damaged or unusable resources.
Corporate transport is the process of managing transport functions throughout an organisation.

Efficient corporate transportation is essential for an organisation as it can greatly reduce the costs of resources and delivering to customers, allow for better quality control, and minimise product waste.
Understanding the fundamentals of corporate transportation also enables a better relationship with customers and stakeholders.
