Logistics and Supply ChainCross Border Transport and Corridor Operations
A truck moving between Southern African countries spends more time stationary at borders than it does on any single stretch of road, and the delay is administrative rather than physical. This course covers reducing it. Delegates work through the regional corridors and their characteristics, the documentation a cross border movement requires and the sequence in which it must exist, and transit and bond arrangements. Border post processes are covered post by post, including the common causes of rejection. Driver management on long haul is addressed, along with cargo security and the risk points on each corridor. The course closes on cost and transit time modelling and on choosing between corridors for a given movement.
