What will you learn:

This training highlights the essential processes of picking, packing, labeling, and palletizing, focusing on optimizing accuracy and efficiency for timely shipping and delivery. Goods may originate from international, regional, or nationally prepositioned warehouses, often requiring technological advancements like automation and robotics. However, in the aid and relief sector, manual labor remains crucial for these tasks, particularly during the critical "first week" of relief efforts, while striving to minimize logistics costs, which average 70% of the total supply chain.

The objectives are:

  • Identification of the best options to protect loads from damage, contamination, and environmental factors during storage and transportation.
  • Understanding of labeling requirements and the significance of palletization for efficient shipping preparation.
  • Comprehension of regulatory compliance to ensure appropriate documentation accompanies loads, particularly for cross-border shipments.
  • Familiarity with different packaging materials and processes.
