Inbound Logistics and Supplier Delivery Performance Management

The reliability of inbound deliveries shapes production schedules, stock levels and customer promises, yet inbound logistics often gets less attention than outbound distribution in African supply chains. This course helps teams control the flow of goods from suppliers, measure on time in full performance, and collaborate with suppliers to fix delivery problems at source. Delegates learn to turn erratic inbound flows into a dependable pipeline.

What you will be able to do

  • Map the inbound logistics flow from supplier despatch to receipt.
  • Design inbound scheduling and delivery windows that reduce congestion.
  • Measure supplier on time in full and delivery accuracy.
  • Diagnose and resolve recurring inbound delivery failures.
  • Collaborate with suppliers to improve delivery reliability.
  • Coordinate inbound freight, receiving and put away efficiently.
