Logistics is an integrated approach to transport, storage and distribution of goods aimed at ensuring that the right products reach the right place in the right quantity at the right time to satisfy customer demand.
As such, it embraces all modes of transport and storage, and includes planning, implementing and controlling the efficient and cost-effective flow and storage of both raw materials and finished goods, in-process inventory, barrier and security checks and related information from the point of origin to the point of delivery.
The Logistics Sector encompasses a wide range of exciting career opportunities in office, terminal and outdoor settings, primarily at supervisory and management levels. These include freight forwarding, customs broking, supply chain management, enterprise resource planning (ERP), management of electronic data interchange (EDI), electronic commerce management (e-commerce), and distribution resource planning (DRP).
The Logistics Sector provides a logical career progression for persons who have already had operations and management experience in the maritime, aviation, road transport, warehousing, stevedoring and rail sector.
