Some 35 per cent of companies did not know the costs of their logistics. The key feature of a good logistics management concept Is making sensible trade-offs between different elements of the supply chain, that means lowering your inventory and making better services versus transport costs. The biggest challenge, the NITL survey found, was skills shortage, a challenge that every company, whether or not they had a logistics solution in place, had to rise to meet. The new alliances will form the backbone of NITL's plan to make its flagship programmes, GDP and EDP, available to companies in the southern and western regions. As from Autumn this year interested individuals or companies can attend the Graduate Development Programme and the Executive Development Programme both in Cork and in Galway, as well as in Dublin.
Entry is free.
We have been listening to what you have told us last year, and the all-new Logistics 2000 conference will be different from the previous conferences. Watch this space throughout the year or join our mailing list to be sure to receive the latest information on the conference. The computer manufacturer Apple has joined the NITL fellowship programme. This programme seeks to develop young graduates or young professionals with a degree towards a career in logistics and supply chain management. The first company to join the programme was Thermoking Europe.
