Program Professional Framework
Warehouse & Stores Management
Program Overview
Warehouses and stores tie up working capital and determine whether operations, maintenance and projects get the right item at the right time. This programme covers the full stores cycle: receiving and inspection, put-away and slotting, bin location control, picking and issuing, cycle counting and stock reconciliation. It addresses inventory classification with ABC/XYZ analysis, FIFO and FEFO rules, handling of slow-moving and obsolete stock, warehouse management systems (WMS) and barcode/RFID tracking, and safe storage of hazardous materials. Applications reflect Gulf contexts such as oil and gas spares stores, government central warehouses and free-zone distribution centres.
Learning Outcomes
- ✓Map the receiving, put-away, picking and issuing process with control points and documentation for each step.
- ✓Classify stock items using ABC/XYZ analysis and set storage locations and counting frequencies accordingly.
- ✓Design a cycle counting programme and reconcile physical counts with system records, investigating variances.
- ✓Identify slow-moving, obsolete and surplus stock and propose disposal or redeployment actions with financial impact.
- ✓Apply safe storage and material handling rules for racking, forklifts and hazardous materials in line with ISO 45001 principles.
- ✓Build a warehouse KPI dashboard covering inventory accuracy, order fill rate, dock-to-stock time and space utilisation.
Target Audience
- Warehouse managers, stores supervisors and storekeepers
- Inventory controllers and materials planners
- Supply chain and logistics officers in oil and gas, utilities and government entities
- Procurement staff responsible for stock replenishment

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants assess a warehouse in their organisation or a provided case: an ABC/XYZ classification of a stock sample, a cycle counting plan, a list of slow-moving items with disposal proposals, and a KPI dashboard with targets and improvement actions.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
