Dates Available
Objectives
Business models have shifted along with digitalization, and this shift calls for new knowledge and skills in the area of supply chain management. The Logistics Academy is excited to relaunch its freshly curated Advanced Diploma that reflects an intended fine balance between the fundamental concepts of supply chain, and the emerging trends in digitalization, so that participants are well poised with essential and new skillsets that are relevant yet future proof for the evolving supply chain industry.
The Advanced Diploma’s training curriculum is customized towards the :
- Logistics Industry Transformation Map (ITM)
- Skills Framework for Logistics – Logistics Solutioning and Programme Management as well as Logistics Process Improvement and Information System
- The revamping exercise of the programme considered a 2020 study by the EDB, ESG, WSG and SSG on the “Impact of the Industry 4.0 (I4.0) on Singapore’s Logistic Workforce” in particular to the “Technology Solutions Stack” (slide #4)
The skillsets and competencies from the course would enable our participants to explore Job Redesign under the JRR (Job Redesign and Reskilling) funding program by WSG.
Who Should Attend
The primary aim of the Advanced Diploma is to offer to Logistics Officer/Executive, Logistics Supervisor, Logistics Co-ordinator, Logistics Specialist the knowledge and insights into the current and advent trends impacting the logistics and supply chain sector. It provides an overall understanding of the front-end and server-end technological stack of technologies used in logistics & supply chain sector. As digital has revolutionized industries, competition, and business models, a new form of digital leadership is necessary to guide organizations through the transition from analogue to digital. Sustainability is a prerequisite for framing the sector with an emphasis on Environment, Social & Governance (ESG) on the entities within the sector. The new supply chain will be a network ecosystem instead of a linear Analog system. Hence, data will facilitate the efficiency and efficacy of the system using AI and ML incorporated into control towers, digital twins and modern version of dashboards and informed decision making. What is of utmost relevance to the logistics & supply chain sector is the requirement for new job roles & skills. The current jobs will be morphed into or replaced by jobs of the future which demand analytical skills, digital skills and soft skills.
