Managing the Corporate Transport Function

Corporate transport management has strategic importance for your organisation.  In an increasingly competitive market, cutting costs has become just one element of success; managers need to consider delivery times, flexibility and innovation when choosing suppliers and contractors.  Financial, technical and negotiation skills are now as essential as the specialised skills of logistics.  

This course prepares participants to manage the corporate transport function as a whole.  We explore a wide range of technical issues, as well as whole-life and life-cycle costing methodologies and a range of personal skills to support informed decision-making.  Your managers will leave fully equipped to provide excellent transport resources to your business.


We have designed this course for managers and supervisors who manage your corporate fleet.  It would also benefit executives with accountability for corporate transport, and managers wishing to understand the fundamentals of fleet management. 

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Establish the transport resource needs of the business

• Determine the economic life of transport assets
• Develop transport plans, strategies and policies
• Plan and manage transport contracts, including Service Level Agreements
