Logistics and Shipping
One parka order to Sweden missed the ship by two hours at a weighbridge. You read the cut-offs backwards into a factory plan. You see a carton height that cost a whole container. And you price every way out of a rolled booking against the order's own profit.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can build a defensible cost sheet for a real style and know, for every line on it, where the number came from and what happens to your margin if it is wrong.
Who it is for
Factory and supplier teams.
What you will produce
You build a shipping file for one order. You write every cut-off back into a factory calendar in working days. You work a container stow across, along, and up, and get the container count it produces. You cost a carton change in containers rather than board. You find the LCL crossover in cubic metres. And you answer a rolled booking with four priced options.
