Logistics Management

An order that has to ship tomorrow while the stock sits in another DC. A carrier that drops out on the day the peak begins. A delivery that arrives just too late for the customer's window. For planners, team leads and supply chain staff this is daily practice. The Logistics Management Assessment measures in 20 multiple-choice questions whether a candidate understands the logistics chain and makes the right trade-offs. Inventory management, planning, transport, costs and the performance indicators a logistics operation is run on. Knowledge and application in situations from real work.

3 Reasons we love this assessment

01
Practice, not the textbook
No handbook definitions, but situations from a DC, a planning board or a transport day. The test measures whether a candidate recognises and solves a logistics problem, not whether they know the term.
02
The whole chain in view
Stock, purchasing, storage, transport and delivery are linked. Whoever optimises one link and forgets the rest moves the problem elsewhere. The test checks whether a candidate sees the consequences further down the chain.
03
Managing by the numbers
Days of inventory, delivery reliability, utilisation, cost per order. The test shows figures the way they appear in a dashboard and measures whether the candidate draws the right conclusion from them.

Information

Inventory and purchasing

Too much stock costs money, too little costs customers. The basics of reorder points, safety stock and ABC classification, and recognising a stock problem before it becomes a delivery problem.

Warehouse and planning

Inbound, storage, order picking and outbound as one process. Spreading capacity across peaks and troughs, and knowing what happens when one step gets stuck.

Transport and distribution

Carrier choice, consolidation, load factor and delivery windows. The trade-off between speed, cost and reliability that every transport planner makes daily.

Costs and KPIs

What delivery reliability, days of inventory and cost per order do and do not tell you. Reading figures as steering information rather than as reporting after the fact.
