For Immediate Release December 2007

The Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society (LSCMS), based in Singapore, announced today that they have partnered with www.supplychainjobz.com to add additional value to the members services.

Prof. Raymon Krishnan, President of the Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society sees the new partnership with SupplyChainJobz as yet another benefit to its Members and the industry.

“In 2007, LSCMS Members have had access to more than S$160,000.00 in benefits. This was given in the way of grants, scholarships, training opportunities and other benefits,” Prof Krishnan said.

“In 2008, the Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society intend to increase this amount further and our partnership with SupplyChainJobz will result in not only giving our Members access to jobs in Singapore and the region, but also the ability for Members to post jobs on SupplyChainJobz at significant discounts will add to that goal,”

“LSCMS have always encouraged greater collaboration in our industry and leveraging off the strengths of leading organisations like SupplyChainJobz is just one way to achieve this.” Prof. Krishnan said.

According to Phillip Parsons, Director of SupplyChainJobz, the partnership with LSCMS not only includes their new job board but also training and education.

“We have embarked on a training and education partnership with LSCMS which allows LSCMS members to have access to career resources, tools and information including an on-line training portal where users can search, review and book training all via the Internet,” Mr Parsons said.

“The LSCMS partnership is an exciting opportunity for SupplyChainJobz to expand its capabilities in the Supply Chain & Logistics careers sector and to provide additional benefits to a traditional job board.”

It was a pleasure to spend time with the Ngee Ann Polytechnic students on the weekend, and a big congratulations to Ivan and the rest of the Student Society who organised an intensive and full schedule so well, including the games and activities, logistics career question session with members of The Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society, and the field trip to the Fishing Port to see some night logistics activities in action. Really great effort guys, and hope you all had fun.

The LSCMS Discussion Group, hosted through Google Groups, has been kicked off and has already begun with some interesting topics.

These have included:

• Optimisation
• Reverse Logistics
• Retail Logistics KPIs
• Contingency Planning in the Supply Chain
• Logistics Software

- and that has been only in the past week! We hope that Logistics Professionals globally will look to this resource as a way of communicating with peers, and we see that this is a great way to discuss and communicate issues, share readings and interesting information that we find, develop an understanding of concepts and to enable us to build a global network of professionals that are interested in contributing to a knowledge resource.

If you have not already joined the group, all you need is an email address, and then head across to the Logistics & Supply Chain Discussion Group.

(Or any other students, for that matter)

The web can be a great place to find and use tools that are of benefit to us when we study. Listed below are some that we hope our students and members find useful.
