Instructor Details

Terrence Walmsley

"What is inventory? Everything!"

I’ve spent over 40 years living and breathing inventory and continuous improvement across industries that touch every corner of the supply chain—Military, Mining, Agriculture, 3PL, FMCG, Manufacturing, Medical, and Retail. From the shop floor to the boardroom, I’ve seen it all, fixed it all, and built systems that work.

This course was created to fill a massive gap: true inventory mastery. Most businesses overlook inventory as a specialty, yet it is the beating heart of efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction. My mission is to equip you—the next generation of inventory professionals—with the skills to not just manage inventory, but to transform it.

I hold a Master of Logistics & Supply Chain Management, an Associate Diploma in Industrial Engineering, and diplomas in Business, Management, and Training & Assessment. More importantly, I bring real-world wins and the latest edge—AI integration into supply chains—through my work with the iA Inventory Academy and projects like AI-IDP, Antibiotica, and Symphony/Orchestra.

Every module is crafted from chapters of my book “Inventory and Other Grocery Items” and distilled into actionable learning.

I really enjoyed the class. I thought that all the information was applicable to projects that I am currently working on. I wish there were more Diagrams that would help the visual learners to retain information.

Yes it was helpful and very good course

By Aro Akeem Ishola on 3/21/2022

It affords me to know more about warehouse processes

By LaTonya Thompson on 3/8/2022

Outside of the facilitator reading directly from the slides, this course is very useful. This is the perfect beginner's course in general, but also ideal for someone transitioning from the Armed Forces and correlating terminology.

By Peter Hammond on 1/8/2021

A lot of good information, loads of material. Talked too much about what to consider without providing specifics or rules of thumb to turn those considerations into decisions. Instructor is clearly highly experienced, but mostly just read the slides.
