Theme
In any organization involved in
international trade many departments and
decisions impact the costs, timeliness
and quality of service of logistics.
Typically, purchase, manufacturing
planning and sales or commercial
departments have important role.
Usually, the concerned finance and
operations functions too have a
significant influence on logistics
performance and costs. Thus executives
in all these areas should have a good
perspective on overall logistics
processes, elements of the systems and
relevant terms.
This program caters to this need and has
organized a team of experienced
logistics professionals to take
participants through –
- Import and export procedures required by
relevant Indian laws
- Ocean transport, equipment, port
facilities and systems and relevant
commercial terms
- Air cargo systems, equipment and
relevant commercial terms
- Contract terms, payments and foreign
exchange management
The program covers all important
activities connected with international
logistics while providing opportunity of
obtaining conceptual clarity from the
experienced faculty. The program will
help the participants develop an
all-round understanding of international
logistics and fill in the gaps in their
experience.
