1, knowledge of logistics system management
The core of logistics management lies in macro resource integration and micro lean operation. Personnel engaged in logistics management should be familiar with the basic process of the industry, master the planning and layout of logistics centers, the transportation and distribution of goods, procurement management and inventory control, the basic application principles of logistics machinery and equipment, and the operational management characteristics of logistics enterprises.
2, computer information system knowledge
Because the logistics operation of modern enterprises has high requirements for information systems, senior logistics talents must have a deep understanding of information systems in addition to mastering computer operation and use skills and office automation tools, be able to correctly judge the logistics needs of enterprises in the wave of enterprise informatization, and point out the direction for enterprise logistics reform from a professional perspective.
3. Financial knowledge
The reason why logistics is called "the third-party profit source" is to improve economic benefits for enterprises by saving costs. As a senior logistics talent, he holds a middle and senior position in a company. Only by mastering financial knowledge can he correctly "diagnose logistics" for enterprises, analyze logistics costs and control and reduce them.
4. Knowledge of relevant laws and regulations
Personnel engaged in logistics management should know about contract law, WTO-related legal knowledge, international commercial law, transportation, warehousing, labor protection and environmental protection, and ensure that every link in the process of logistics management is unimpeded in accordance with laws and international practices, taking into account the economic interests of all parties while ensuring that the national interests are not infringed.
5. Be proficient in foreign languages.
Good foreign language application ability is a necessary skill for all senior talents. Advanced logistics management needs to learn the latest international logistics management technology and knowledge of computer, finance, foreign trade and human resources. Only by continuous learning at work can we ensure that the logistics work of enterprises is always full of vitality and achieve the goal of continuous cost saving.
Through the above analysis, the most needed senior logistics talents for modern enterprises are those who not only know how to plan the long-term development of enterprises from a strategic height, but also have practical work experience in front-line departments. If you have worked in a famous foreign logistics enterprise, listed logistics company or consulting industry, the background is the best.
At present, the main reason for the lack of logistics talents is that the education and training of logistics talents have not kept up with the needs of economic development. At present, school education and industry training focus on theoretical teaching, and there is still a big gap between the professional skills mastered by graduates and the needs of enterprises, which is also an important reason for the prominent contradiction between supply and demand of logistics talents in China. This is difficult to solve in a short time. Nowadays, in order to alleviate the pressure of contradiction between supply and demand of logistics talents, in addition to speeding up the construction of logistics specialty in higher education, a more realistic way is to continue to popularize the certification of logistics professional qualification standards, so that more logistics workers who have already engaged in logistics work or intend to engage in logistics work in the future can master professional logistics knowledge and skills through on-the-job training.
The cultivation of logistics talents is a long-term project, which requires the joint efforts of the government, universities, industry associations and enterprises. We believe that as long as the whole society cares about the cultivation of logistics talents and our logistics practitioners are diligent and studious, the logistics industry in China will be more prosperous.
