Port Operations Demand Sensing, Deployment and Management

---

Port Operations Demand Sensing, Deployment and Management Course

Growing  international trade and demand uncertainty on port facilities are  inducing complex port operations and management. Strategic visioning and  forward thinking ports with robust strategic planning in their daily  operations and efficiency management are therefore  embracing and  deploying demand sensing in port logistics and supply chain management  to meet  demand uncertainty  and to achieve high level of service whilst  minimizing general costs with   reduced strain on port infrastructural  capacity in the process.

Global trade  and competition, faster product development, increasingly flexible  manufacturing systems and unprecedented number and variety of products  are competing in the markets. Quick response programme, just-in-time  (JIT) inventory systems, management resource planning and the likes are  no longer up to the task of meeting the growing uncertainty of  customers’ demand without the deployment of innovative demand sensing  strategy in ports.

Aim

The primary  aim of this innovative strategy in port operations is to enable ports  meet the uncertainty of demand on port services whilst allowing  strategic use of facilities to improve efficiency. Ports that are  deploying demand sensing in port logistics and supply chain management  overcome constraints in operations and management inertia whilst meeting  customers’ demand.

Objectives

1. To introduce participants to a new  innovative management strategy in port operations whilst enabling them  to become highly-skilled in deploying demand sensing in port logistics  and supply chain to achieve efficiency whilst reducing costs in port  operations.
2. To assist participants acquire modern  approach to demand forecasting and planning so as to overcome errors  entailed in port operations planning and demand forecasting  whilst facilitating port efficiency.
3. To enable participants acquire  monitoring and evaluation skills much needed in performance measurement  of port logistics and supply chain management.

Targeted Participants

The course is  a highly-skilled strategic management and port logistics demand sensing  programme designed for: Middle and Senior Managers in Ports, Rail  Transport, Road Haulage, Shippers Councils, Senior staff of supervising  Ministries, Customs & Excise Departments, Students & Academics,  Professionals in ports, Container Terminals, Inland Container Depots,  and others
