e-Transport - Introduction to distribution & transport - The five dimensions of transport

The Introduction to Distribution and Transport and The Five Dimensions of Transport modules provide a strong foundation for managing freight transport in the logistics chain. The first module covers how transport routes develop, distribution channels such as e-commerce, and the choice between in-house operations and outsourcing (1PL to 5PL). The second focuses on managing shipments in practice through five core dimensions: distance, speed, risk, cost and information. Together, they provide a complete guide to establishing and optimising an efficient transport network.

e-Magazijn - "Materials Handling" in de praktijk

Dit praktijkgerichte e-learningpakket biedt een complete duik in de fysieke en technische inrichting van het magazijn. Via diepgaand lesmateriaal en gerichte instructievideo’s leert de cursist hoe opslagtechnieken, intern transport en verpakkingskeuzes naadloos op elkaar aansluiten om logistieke processen te optimaliseren. Van de juiste selectie van statische en dynamische opslagsystemen (zoals FIFO-, FEFO- en LIFO-toepassingen) tot de technische opbouw en dimensionering van palletstellingen; alle cruciale onderwerpen komen aan bod. Daarnaast behandelen de modules de waaier aan interne transportmiddelen (van manuele transpallet tot heftrucks en geautomatiseerde systemen), alsmede het strategisch inzetten van primaire, secundaire en tertiaire verpakkingen en ladingdragers ter bescherming en ladingzekering van goederen.

e-Magazijn - Layout & Inrichting

Deze e-learningmodules vormen samen een gestroomlijnd en praktisch leertraject rond datagestuurde magazijninrichting en -optimalisatie. In Data-analyse als fundament van magazijninrichting en de verdiepende instructievideo over ABC-analyse Pareto leert de cursist grote datasets te analyseren om artikelen te categoriseren (A, B, C) en de verplaatsings- en loopafstanden in het magazijn te minimaliseren. Magazijn Layout & ontwerpmethodieken reikt vervolgens de beproefde methodieken SHA (Systematic Handling Analysis) en SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) aan om goederenstromen visueel in kaart te brengen, transportarbeid te berekenen en efficiënte lay-outontwerpen te maken. Tot slot brengt de instructievideo over het inrichten en dimensioneren van de opslagruimte al deze theoretische principes samen in een concrete praktijkcase. Dankzij dit e-learningpakket verwerft de cursist direct toepasbare vaardigheden om logistieke ruimtes zelfstandig te analyseren, te herstructureren en te optimaliseren voor een maximale operationele efficiëntie.
