ii) Need training and qualification systems for responding to developments in logistics

Logistics training programmes can upgrade skills and improve the work performance of those

employed in logistics systems. Technology is rapidly changing and influencing different industries.

However, skilled people are needed to plan, develop and operate the most advanced automated

systems. Logistics training and educational programmes can evoke awareness of the various levels

within the industry. Thus training and personnel development in logistics are critical for responding to

advanced technology and global business trends. It is important that both policy makers and company

executives pay attention to logistics studies and practice, and make training of personnel a top priority.

In addition to training programmes, workers’ skills can be improved through

education/certification schemes, resulting in increased rewards to the more highly skilled workers.
