The Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society is the regional professional body for Logistics practitioners.
Practically all areas of the Logistics spectrum are represented in the Society. Shippers, Freight Forwarders, Academics, Students, Carriers, Personal Effects Movers and other individuals and organisations form our core. With an emphasis on commercial experience and expertise we are the lead platform for the development of Logistics in the region and work with our members, government, organisations and professionals in raising the profile and expertise through a range of activities.
Like most professional bodies, the Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society emphasises a commitment to ongoing education and encourages performance consistent with a generally agreed body of knowledge or standards. Members of our Society are recognised as members of a professional body through the work we continue to perform.
From our formation, the Society has grown from strength to strength and is the pioneer in providing visionary direction and leadership in the industry.
We have been working with our professional institution partners to offer or support Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses in more than 13 countries as far afield as Germany, Africa, Egypt, India and Papua New Guinea.
The Society currently runs Asia's first purpose built, dedicated "Warehouse School" that conducts nationally accredited skills training and our members sit on validation and professional committees that help shape the academic, professional and vocational standards of our profession.
We regularly speak, endorse or publish at numerous Logistics & Supply Chain events or publications every year. In Singapore we offer the only UK University program in Supply Chain Management at Master's level.
The Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society (L&SCMS) was nominated earlier this year for the Education & Training Award in the Supply Chain Asia Awards for 2008. Mr. Peter Raven, Vice-Principal of The Turning Point Education Group was in Shanghai, last week to receive the award on the Society's behalf. The Turning Point is the official training partner of the Society in Singapore.
One objective of L&SCMS is to bridge the gap between business and education in the field of Supply Chain Education & Training in Asia and we do this through a number of mediums. As one of the 23,000 + readers of our online newsletter we would like to thank you for all the support you have given us over the years and for nominating us for the awards. Winning this award gives us the impetus to reach greater heights as the first platform for Logistics professionals in the region.
