e-Transport - The life cycle of a shipment

This e-learning module provides an in-depth, practical analysis of the entire life cycle of a shipment, from the initial commercial agreement to final administrative closure and quality review. Participants discover how physical, administrative and data flows come together in a structured process of ten chronological steps, taking account of five crucial transport dimensions: distance, time, cost, risk and information. The course covers the selection and classification of cargo, packaging and load units such as pallets and containers, the choice of the best transport mode, and collaboration with logistics partners. It also explores transport documentation, port and customs-clearance procedures such as PN/TS and Certified Pick up, current tracking technologies including IoT, RFID and Blockchain, and effective KPIs and vendor-rating systems for continuous process optimisation.

🎯 Learning objectives

After independently completing this e-learning module, you will be able to:

Analyse the complete shipment life cycle: Explain the ten chronological stages of a domestic and international shipment and structure the physical, information and legal flows within them correctly.
Optimise cargo & packaging choices: Analyse product data, primary/secondary/tertiary packaging levels, ISPM 15 standards and volumetric weights correctly to prevent damage and maximise load utilisation.
Select transport modes & shipping units strategically: Make informed choices between road, rail, water and air transport and load units such as FCL versus LCL or Europallet versus ISO container, based on cost, transit time, risk and sustainability.
Manage supply chain partners & contracts: Distinguish the roles of key parties, such as shippers, freight forwarders and stevedores, and apply agreements set out in SLAs, Incoterms and liability frameworks such as Belgian transport law.
Use transport & customs documentation correctly: Prepare and process essential documents accurately, including commercial invoices, e-CMR, Bills of Lading, FCR/FBL and customs documents such as EAD, MRN and Certificates of Origin.
Carry out digital operational processes: Understand and apply digital logistics processes, including Port of Antwerp-Bruges procedures such as CPu, TSD and VGM, in day-to-day transport management.
Ensure real-time visibility: Use modern Track & Trace technologies, including barcodes, RFID, IoT and Blockchain, and TMS systems to actively monitor shipments and manage risks.
Measure performance & assure quality: Apply KPIs, vendor ratings and the PDCA cycle to evaluate transport performance, handle damage and claims correctly, and carry out a transport audit.

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.
