The day before my interview with a [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]nike air jordan pas cher[/url] Chinese ocean carrier I actually looked up the word logistics online. I had heard the word, but I didn't know what it means. I had already received a job offer from a freight forwarder, also a term that I didn't understand, and both positions were a far cry from my previous career as a school teacher.
I had majored in history at university, not logistics. If you survey the current population of logistics professionals, I don't think you will find many people that had formal training prior to their careers. They arrived in the supply chain world either by necessity or by chance.
The next generation [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour outlet[/url] of graduates has the opportunity to major in logistics at the university level, learning the terminology, the theory, and the practical application. But [url=http://www.getconversational.com]hollister pas cher[/url] should you consider logistics as a major? Isn't logistics something that only UPS could love? [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk outlet[/url] Is there a future in supply chain management?
The answer is yes, but not for everyone. Let me explain: In the 1980's global trade was booming and shipping cargo across the ocean was extremely profitable for both the carriers and [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk[/url] the traders. Corporations promoted logistics managers internally, often with little or no supply chain [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]www.achbanker.com/home.php[/url] background. Corporations focused on cost savings through lower wage and production [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] costs overseas, and didn't need to focus as much on the high freight costs involved.
Times have changed. We now have low ocean freight rates (compared to the 1980s) and rising labor costs in China. Corporations look to their supply chain [url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/hot.php]hollister france[/url] managers to identify ways to keep their products competitive, and their shipping costs [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey outlet[/url] at a minimum.
Many of these corporate supply chain managers are nearing retirement. Companies will need managers to fill these voids and they will be looking for individuals with industry experience and degrees in supply chain. There will be competition for these jobs, and only the most qualified will move up the ranks.
Import/Export has a romantic charm that creates images of world travel and adventure. But Logistics/Supply Chain is somewhat like a goalie in soccer game, he is absolutely critical, but if he lets one goal pass through [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/barbour.php]barbour paris[/url] the entire team is disappointed in him.
Logistics is not for everyone, but nearly every company needs a supply chain manager. If you enjoy solving problems, learning about [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] different cultures, and world trade, then studying logistics/supply chain management might be a good choice for your years at University.
