Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience with logistics software, simulation of routing and inventory decisions, and analysis of real-world case studies. Learners will apply concepts learned in lectures to solve practical problems and demonstrate competency in logistics operations.

Practical Activities

• Transportation Mode Selection Simulation — Using a simulation tool, learners choose transportation modes for given scenarios, considering cost, time, and service level requirements. (4h)
• Warehouse Layout and Inventory Management Exercise — Learners design a warehouse layout using software and apply ABC analysis to slot inventory, then calculate EOQ and reorder points. (4h)
• Logistics Data Analytics and KPI Dashboard — Using a dataset, learners create a dashboard in Excel or BI tool to track logistics KPIs and identify performance gaps. (4h)
• Integrated Logistics Case Study — Teams work on a comprehensive case study, developing a logistics strategy, selecting modes, designing distribution network, and presenting recommendations. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
