Delivering bespoke online training to Ocado Group

1 February 2022

Cardiff Business School has led a programme of bespoke online training with Ocado Group logistics employees.

15 supply chain and logistics employees completed the series of tailored online modules led by the School’s Logistics and Operations Management experts.

The programme, which looked to broaden their industry knowledge, was specifically designed to meet learning requirements for Ocado Group’s Operational Excellence and Supply Chain department.

The 9-month long programme was co-led by Course Director Vasco Sanchez Rodrigues and Deputy Director Emrah Demir and delivered online due to COVID-19 restrictions.

As a final exercise, delegates were asked to apply learnings from the programme to develop practical projects that could support supply chain and logistics improvements.

Following the success of the training programme, Ocado Group and Cardiff Business School will be partnering on a second instalment of this tailored executive training, to be delivered in 2022.

Having successfully collaborated with Cardiff Business School for a number of years on Masters Projects and a Knowledge Transfer Partnership, the 2021 training programme augmented the deep knowledge and experience of 15 of our Supply Chain and Logistics team members, giving them a richer academic and industry perspective on the sector.
