About the LOGISMEDTA project

The overall objective of this technical assistance is to contribute to the development of the LOGISMED initiative by setting the basis for improving one of its main pillars: logistics training in beneficiary MPCs

7

• It builds on the “A Euro-Mediterranean network of logistics platforms” study (March 2009), which

proposed to establish a network of Euro-Mediterranean logistics platforms covering all the

Mediterranean Partner Countries, with the objective of helping to develop a private sector-friendly

environment, with the public authorities playing a support and coordination role.

• It aims to improve the supply of qualified personnel addressed to LOGISMED platforms, through

training for staff addressed to managing and operating the platforms, as well as to companies

established in LOGISMED platforms, in order to facilitate their development by leveraging on the

services provided in the platform.

• It will result in the elaboration of an Action Plan for the development of the LOGISMED Training

Activities programme leading to specific subsequent actions to implement it.

Consulting

About the LOGISMEDTA project

This initial assessment was performed through a desk research effort, which was combined with field trips to the three selected beneficiary MPCs

8

The goals of this stage of the project included:

• Review internationally accepted best practices in the field

• Synthesize existing information on training and education for logistics in MPCs

• Perform an initial diagnostic on training and education for logistics in MPCs

• Elaborate a first definition of the logistics education strategy

Consulting

Initial assessment wrap-up

It is necessary to develop a general framework for the profession

10

• Logistics and Supply Chain Management have to be understood as a critical part of the value chain,

directly linked to the development of the countries

• Human resources are essential to value added operations, therefore they need to be trained

• To define the training needs of the sector, a common framework has to be built to ensure consistency

when developing a homogeneous education scheme in the beneficiary countries

o Such classification has to be sufficiently generic to include all possible jobs in all areas, but still

specific enough to properly define each position, so that it is possible to associate to it the

necessary training that requires

o The framework proposed through this technical assistance is based on a comprehensive definition

of jobs and tasks in 5 levels which include from operative to management positions

o For each job position and level, the tasks to develop have been determined

o Based on the tasks to be developed by each job-level combination, a first definition of the base

knowledge requirements and the needed training to perform them were defined

Multiple reference models can be used to set the “to-be” situation for the MPCs

USA and UK should be considered as best-in-class models and the Spanish case can be taken as a goal for the development of the MPCs

12

US

A

Logistics education and training• About 12% of the accredited schools in the US offered

undergraduate degrees in logistics and supply chain management; this figure jumps to 16% for postgraduate degrees

• SCM is considered as a business discipline, and that a common supply chain talent model should be developed

Professional association• Many SCM professional associations exist and are growing• Different type of memberships (personal, companies, etc.)• Some of them even provide training servicesCertification• Previously mentioned associations provide certifications and

licenses to demonstrate professional excellence in the field

UK

Logistics education and training• More postgraduate courses than in USA• Undergraduate programs are moving to sandwich full-time

courses• UK employers value graduates with specialized post-graduate

degrees in logistics and SCMProfessional association• Professional associations provide professional accreditation in

that a member is usually recognised by the industry as an accredited professional

Certification• The leading professional association offers a wide range of

certifications

EL

A

• The European Logistics Association has built standards for logistics competence to reflect the expectations of workplace performance

• The association offers certifications according to the previous standards.

• However it does not prescribe any methods or courses • A National Certification Board is set up in each ELA member

country to ensure that standards are in line with the European directive

SP

AIN

Logistics education and training• Several training options for are developing in the field at all levels

but mainly as TVET and Postgraduate programsProfessional association• Professional associations exist and most of them offer their own

educative programsCertification• The sector does not have its own certifications in Spain ,so

professionals rely on international institutions to get them

Consulting

Initial assessment wrap-up: Morocco

Morocco has clearly understood the importance of logistics and transportation as a cornerstone of development and economic growth, however there are still important gaps in the education offering

16

Interviewees Key inputs from interviews

Offer in training and education for logistics

• High potential to improve collaboration between education institutions and

private companies

• Limited TVET offer. The public sector has started operating logistics training

• Limited availability of specialized and competent logistics lecturers in higher

education

• Absence of international accreditation of courses

• Absence of proper operative training centres equipped with the necessary

training tools

• A financial support exists for TVET, but is not effective, being very slow and

over bureaucratic (2008 trainings were being reimbursed in 2011)

Demand in training and education for logistics

• There is a demand by the logistics sector to structure the profession and

develop some standards

• The demand for training of blue collar workers is generally limited on basic

health and safety standards (for truck drivers, forklift drivers, handling

operators, etc.)

• The logistics sector in general does not yet realize the importance of

logistics. Employers do not perceive enough the value of logistics training

• The absence of regulations requiring specific logistics education/training for

some jobs limits the demand

• Public institutions

• Ministry of transport

• TMSA

• TMPA

• Logistics operators

• TCL

• SNTL

• CCL

• Education

• OFPPT

• Avenir Formation

• CCELOG

• Group BMHS

Initial assessment wrap-up: Tunisia

20

The logistics and transport sector in Tunisia is starting to develop with the creation of strategic plans and the recent constitution of the first logistics association (ASLOG)

The awareness of the need for training in the sector is growing as shown by the inclusion of “warehouse” and “handling” operators as two priority specialties by the Ministry of Education



• Education is considered to be too theoretical in many cases

• Transport and port operations are covered to some extent, but there

is a lack of education on logistics aspects (supply chain

management, warehousing, planning, etc.)

• Potential to improve quality of teaching methods

• Lack of relationship between companies and training centres

• Internships are not sufficiently promoted and structured


• New hires are generally selected due to their previous experience,

not because of their education (mainly for blue collar workers)

• Usually just big operators set up internal training plans and career

development paths for their employees. Small companies do not feel

the need and rely on internal informal training.

• Public Institutions

• DGPE / DGMM Ministère du Transport

• Ministère de la Formation Professionnelle

et de l’emploi

Initial assessment wrap-up: Egypt

24

Interviews in Egypt confirmed the inexistence of a TVET offering for logistics and the limitations of the offering in higher education

Value attached to certification is low across sector stakeholders



• University: AASTMT and the AUC are regarded as the best options, but the

private sector requires to increase the practical component of it

• TVET: no specific logistics offering

• IMC: it provides financing and resources for in-company programs


• For administrative and managerial positions (“white collar”), companies look for

a university degree when hiring (not necessarily in logistics)

� Valued skills: IT know-how, team playing, quantitative techniques,

leadership (higher positions) and communication

� Post-recruitment training is performed in the country for middle

management, and in the country or abroad for higher managers

• For operative and technical positions (“blue collar”), companies prefer to hire

“fresh” workers, make them start as apprentices and train them (on the job +

crash courses)

� Companies basically look for people with middle education and “the

right set of values” (i.e. work ethics)

� Post-recruitment training is normally performed in-house through

courses tailored to company’s processes and systems

Consulting

Initial assessment wrap-up: Institutional

The education needs identified for institutional players in logistics in the three countries are more related to general policy issues and competitiveness factors for companies, than to the particular technical capacities usually included in the academic coursesSome of the main topics demanded by these institutions would include:

• Integration of transport and land planning

• Territorial planning

• Demand estimation

• Green logistics

• Financial sustainability of transports and logistics infrastructures

• Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) methodologies

• Public-Private-Partnership models (PPPs)

• Investment promotion in logistics

• Commercial and management models for logistics infrastructures

• Sustainable transportation modes (short sea shipping, rail, etc.)

26

Consulting


To sum up, identified issues cover both the demand and offer side

They affect education centers, companies, professionals and public institutions

27

1. Limited availability of specialized tertiary training and education offer

2. Limited availability of specialized TVET training and education offer

3. Training and education offer not aligned with private sector needs

4. Tertiary education contents and methods are too detached from company needs (i.e. no "real

world" skills, no internships, etc.)

5. Insufficient continuous education and evaluation schemes for teachers

6. Limited incorporation of international best practices in education for logistics

7. Companies do not regard education for logistics as a valuable investment

8. Lack of appreciation of certification provided by most local education institutions

9. Logistics is not regarded as an attractive career path for young and future professionals

10. An assessment of training needs / shortages per job position has not been performed

Consulting


A survey will be passed to you, which we ask you to fulfil

You have 100 points to split across the different identified issues

28

• You can decide how to split these points according to the

importance that you give to each issue, but the sum of the

assigned points has to add up to 100.

• For instance, you may:

o Assign your 100 points to just one issue if you think

that this one is the only important one.

o Split them evenly across 10 issues (i.e. 10 points to

each issue)

o Split them unevenly across a few issues, i.e. 40

points to Issue A; 30 to points to Issue B; 15 points to

Issue C; 10 points to Issue D; and 5 points to Issue E.

o Etc.
