Course Overview
Distance-Learning Certificate Course on Modern Inventory and Warehouse Management
INTRODUCTION
The impor tant contributions made by an effec tive inventory and warehouse management system are 4-fold:
1. To assist in profit maximization through faster stock turnover.

4. To assist in a smoother production process through more effi cient control of material flow.
In the light of its current role as a springboard to one of the world’s largest undeveloped markets and in view of the recent policy changes in China, Hong Kong continues to be a very important and advantageous transit centre for material and technical resources between Mainland China and other parts of the world. Consequently, modern techniques in Inventor y and Warehouse Management will be in great demand, as will be managers well trained in this specialism.
