Learners know supply-chain terms but cannot compute safety stock, spot dead stock, reconcile physical vs system stock or justify a purchase order.
Plan and control inventory for one product range: forecast demand, set reorder points, track stock and supplier performance, and make a defensible replenishment decision — the way ERP-driven operations teams work.
