International Transport Management
Transport is a critical and costly function that is frequently overlooked. Yet the benefits from efficient control and administration of operations and transport vehicles can be substantial. After exploring the different transport modes of road, sea and air, this seminar looks at the practical day to day basic operational procedures to be carried out in managing a fleet of road vehicles used for freight transport. It then explores how to run these transport operations more productively, including an overview of the legislation and regulations involved. It will give a structured approach so delegates can analyse and then improve their transport operations.
