Course Summary
Transporting heavy goods within onshore and offshore supply chains requires effective planning and negotiation between packing companies, distribution centres, and freight management sites. The risks of heavy item transportation can not only be damaging to businesses financially if the goods don’t arrive at their destination on time but could also present a safety hazard if not handled professionally and with care.
To understand the best practices of heavy freight transportation both on land and overseas, you will need to implement a strong operational framework, develop a risk management and mitigation strategy and plan for change using critical assessments.
Moving forward within the freight transportation industry will require a strong grasp of the economic implications of moving large amounts of heavy goods. You will have to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions to safely transport heavy goods, maintain professional relationships and simultaneously grow your global offering.
