e-Transport - Rail transport

The Rail Transport module provides a thorough, practical understanding of the operation, organisation and strategic benefits of rail freight. Participants explore the Belgian and European rail network, the parties involved and the market structure since liberalisation. The module also covers the complete life cycle of a rail shipment, from wagon selection, booking and the legal framework (COTIF/CIM) to load securing, transshipment techniques and delivery. Finally, it examines European rail corridors, intermodal hubs and the technical and economic challenges facing the sector.

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.
