Learner goals and capabilities

Our students are available for assisting to solve any business problem (internal or external) related to Warehouse and/or Distribution.

Our students offer recommendations for warehouse design and/or operations or any other warehouse challenge your company may be experiencing or other business improvement outcomes. This course is focused on developing students' understanding of warehouse and distribution designs and operations. The course is a popular elective and thus we have students from many disciplines enrolled bringing with them a variety of talents and interests from the School of Business and Management. We are based in Vietnam and are looking forward to working with you online. We will provide a final report and video presentation.
