Certified Logistics Professional 2014
(July –October 2014)
As it is well accepted that the development of logistics management of industrial sectors in Thailand will
help build up competitiveness of entrepreneurs in both production and service sectors. Many leading
corporations, therefore, focus on enhancing their logistics management. However, according to the experiencesof Japan, it was found that to improve logistics management, human resources development is a key factor and inJapan logistics personnel are classified into 3 levels namely operational, middle management and top
management levels. All these personnel are required to undertake the training courses of which lecturers areexperienced industrial experts, and after that trainees will have to take standard test in various forms. Thispattern of human resources development leads to the successful continual development of logistics management
in industrial sectors in Japan.
Thai National Shippers’Council (TNSC) deems that this development approach is beneficial to logistics
management especially in terms of building up logistics personnel qualification standard in the Thai industries.
TNSC, therefore, collaborates with Japan Institute of Logistics System (JILS) through the kind support ofJapan External Trade Organization (JETRO) set up the Logistics Qualification System Program (LQSP) by using thecontent and the qualification system of Japan as a model with minor adaptation to suit the industrial environmentin Thailand.
