Logistics Operations Planning & Scheduling

Outline:
This training provides a practical understanding of Logistics Operations Planning & Scheduling applied to offshore operations.
It first clarifies the respective roles of planning and scheduling and how they contribute to operational efficiency.
Participants learn how to identify and quantify logistics demand and translate operational requirements into transport needs.
A key focus is placed on matching demand with available transport capacity, one of the fundamentals of effective logistics planning.
The course explains the main vessel planning drivers and how they influence cargo operations and offshore support activities.
Its major added value is to help participants anticipate requirements, constraints and capacity shortages before they affect operations.
Effective planning therefore improves the utilization of vessels and other logistics resources while reducing delays, conflicts and unnecessary costs.
Participants also learn how to assess logistics performance through relevant operational and cost KPIs.
The training strengthens coordination between operational requirements, logistics resources and transport capabilities, supporting more reliable decision-making.
Finally, a practical case study consolidates these concepts by tracking industrial equipment from the vendor plant through to the offshore site.

Audience:
This course is primarily designed for Personnel involved in Logistic operations.
It may also be necessary to technical engineers who need to understand Logistic and its role within the Entity. as they work in interface with Logistics.
Finally, any actor of the Supply Chain will also benefit from this training by understanding the interactions within the Chain: Buyers, Contract engineers, Expeditors, Transit Agents..

Deliverables:
Participants leave the training able to transform operational demand into an executable logistics plan, match requirements with available transport capacity, anticipate constraints and optimize the utilization of logistics resources while maintaining operational continuity and cost control.

Certificate:
A Certificate of attendance will be remitted upon completion of the Training and execution of the study case allowing an individual evaluation.
