Keep goods moving for a garden-furniture importer in its busiest month: replan a late container before a promotion, choose between a pallet network and a dedicated trailer, find why deliveries miss on time in full, and make a damage claim that stands up.

What you'll build

Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.

  • Inbound recovery planA late shipment turned into dates the business can use: the real timeline from port to store, the options for the promotion, what was confirmed to stop further slippage, and who was told.
  • Outbound load planHow the week's orders travel and why: the break-even between a pallet network and a dedicated trailer, the cost of each choice, the drop order and the details that make a multi-drop run work.
  • Damage claim fileA transit damage claim that stands up: the evidence, the notice sent within the carrier's terms, the customer looked after first, the insurance checked, and the cause fixed.
  • Logistics week reportOne page for the operations meeting: the Easter shipment, transport cost, service against target with its causes, the damage claim, and the one thing that needs approval.
