Routing And Scheduling Management For Supervisors Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply routing and scheduling principles to optimise transport operations.
• Analyse operational data to identify inefficiencies in current routing and scheduling processes.
• Evaluate alternative routing strategies to minimise costs and improve service levels.
• Implement scheduling adjustments to accommodate dynamic operational demands.
• Demonstrate compliance with relevant legislation, company policies, and safety standards.
• Monitor and report on routing and scheduling performance using key performance indicators.

Target Audience

This course is designed for supervisors, team leaders, and operations managers in the transport, logistics, or distribution sectors who are responsible for planning and managing routing and scheduling functions.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals component provides hands-on experience with route planning software, scheduling tools, and real-world scenario simulations. Learners will apply theoretical knowledge to solve routing and scheduling problems, use industry-standard software, and develop contingency plans, ensuring they can effectively manage routing and scheduling operations in their workplace.

Practical Activities

• Route Planning with Software — Learners use a TMS or route optimization software to plan and optimize delivery routes for a given set of orders and constraints. (16h)
• Scheduling Simulation — Learners create and manage schedules for a simulated fleet, balancing driver hours, vehicle capacity, and delivery windows. (16h)
• Scenario-Based Problem Solving — Learners respond to simulated disruptions (e.g., traffic, breakdowns) and develop contingency plans, then present solutions. (16h)

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.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
