Logistics Talents Are The Key To The Development Of China'S Logistics Industry

I. China logistics Talent development is the key.

In May 7, 2002, the general office of the CPC Central Committee and the general office of the State Council issued the notice on the outline of the 2002-2005 year plan for the construction of the national talent force. The outline of the plan clearly pointed out in the analysis of the talent situation in China: "entering the new century, the international situation is undergoing profound changes. With the development of economic globalization, the trend of talent globalization is further enhanced. After China's accession to the world trade organization, the talent problem is becoming more prominent. The developed countries use various means to attract talents in our country, and the competition for talents is becoming increasingly fierce. The adjustment of the economic structure in the world has put forward higher requirements for the quality of talents, and the competition of comprehensive national strength is more dependent on the progress of science and technology and the development of talents. The next 5-10 years will be an important period for China's economic and social development. It is the key to achieve the goal of building the socialism with Chinese characteristics and achieve the goal of building a socialist goal with the Chinese characteristics. We should do a good job in coping with the WTO entry and achieve the ambitious goal of the fifteen plan. Seizing opportunities, meeting challenges and taking the road of talents to build a strong country is a strategic choice to enhance China's comprehensive national strength and international competitiveness and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

"The current situation of our talent team is not compatible with the requirements of the new situation and new tasks. The main reasons are: the total amount of talent is relatively insufficient, the structure is not reasonable, the innovation ability needs to be improved urgently, the system and mechanism of talent work are not perfect enough, and the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of talents have not been brought into full play. We must vigorously develop talent resources, strengthen the construction of talents, and grasp this important strategic task.

China logistics What is the status of the talents and how the talent situation is? I think the situation is consistent with that of the whole country, and it may be more urgent. Peter Drucker, a famous management guru, described in 1962: "we do not know much about logistics today than the people in the African continent that Napoleon knew. We know that logistics exists and is huge, but that's all. Although there are many experts in the field of logistics, such as transportation and warehousing, manufacturing and insurance. But recently, when the government authorities sought two or three experts to make some practical suggestions for logistics development, they did not find a suitable candidate in the industry, government and even universities that were consulted. China may have passed this period, but it is not optimistic. According to the preliminary survey and statistics, logistics personnel is one of the 12 shortage talents in China. Logistics planners, logistics managers, logistics researchers and logistics teachers are in short supply. At the end of 2000, there were 1 million 260 thousand manufacturing enterprises, 118 thousand construction enterprises, 750 thousand wholesale and retail catering enterprises, 86 thousand wholesale and retail enterprises, 60 thousand transportation, warehousing, and post and telecommunications enterprises, and 2 million 274 thousand enterprises. If we send 1 logistics college or above talents to every 10 enterprises by 2010, it will be 200 thousand. For every 5 enterprises, 1 is 400 thousand, if 1 employees are trained for 2 enterprises, 1 million will be given to each enterprise. So I think that by 2010, the demand for logistics talents above college level is about 30-40, and the number of in-service personnel training is about 100-200. Of course, logistics talents are multi-layered, and quite a few of them are transferred from related majors. At present, all kinds of logistics professionals are trained about 5000 people a year, and the annual training scale for the in-service personnel is about 50 thousand. The task is quite arduous, so it is difficult to complete the education of the current logistics talents.

The Ministry of education has proposed to carry out China. logistics The study of industry development and logistics talent demand forecast, I hope to organize the universities and related departments to finish the project quality. There are many factors that affect the development of China's logistics industry, but the lack of logistics talents is the key. Logistics talents are scarce resources and strategic resources. According to the education survey conducted by the US logistics managers in Orlean University, about 92% of the respondents have bachelor's degree, 41% of them have master's degree, 22% of them have qualification certificate, and China's gap is too big. Therefore, we must attach importance to the training of logistics talents from a strategic height.

Two. logistics Talent education project should grasp, grasp and grasp.

In 2001, the China Federation of logistics and purchasing held a symposium on Logistics Teaching at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Last year, second seminars on logistics teaching were held in Dalian Maritime University. This year is the third session, hosted by Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, with more and more schools and enterprises participating. At the first session, I put forward the idea of starting a logistics talent education project in China, advancing in three levels. Academic education, especially undergraduate education in Colleges and universities, was the best. 37 colleges and universities have set up logistics management specialty, 10 universities have set up logistics engineering majors (all are outside the catalog), and more than 70 colleges have set up logistics related courses. But the level is uneven, lacking characteristics, compared with the logistics education in developed countries. The on-the-job education of logistics personnel, especially the continuing education of college or above, has been rolled out at present, but it lacks guidance and confusion. The progress of qualification training is relatively slow. On the whole, the situation is good, the market is large, the prospect is broad, and there is much to do. China Federation of logistics and purchasing and China logistics society are ready to work together with you to create a new prospect for logistics talents education in China.

Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin have all said that there is no direction in their work. The work is not grasping, grasping and grasping. They also taught us to be good at catching the main contradictions and contradictions. The next step of China logistics and purchasing Federation and China logistics society is to focus on the following six aspects.

{page_break}

First, the establishment of China Logistics Society logistics Talent training Specialized Committee, which was approved by the Ministry of civil affairs.

It is composed of the chairman, vice chairmen and members. With the development of work, members can be increased. The Specialized Committee has three working guidance groups:

One is the steering group of higher education. He Mingke is also the leader of the group. Wang Yaoqiu, Liu Binglian, Huang Youfang, Gui Shouping, Weng Xingang and Zhang Jin are deputy leaders.

The two is the steering group of vocational education. Comrade Ren Haoxiang is also the leader of the group.

Three is secondary vocational school and vocational high school education guidance group, Wu Yuanyou as head of the group, Li Jiancheng as deputy group leader. The organization will be further improved before the end of the year.

The Specialized Committee has a secretariat, Ren Haoxiang is also the secretary general, Chen Meijun and Zhou Xuesong are deputy secretaries general, and the Secretariat is located in the Training Department of China logistics society.

The training of logistics talents, under the guidance of relevant government departments and under the leadership of the China logistics society, has five main responsibilities: Specialized Committee:

First, carry out the investigation, research and analysis of the current situation of logistics talents in China, and put forward countermeasures and suggestions.

The two is to organize relevant schools to carry out exchanges and cooperation in logistics teaching and scientific research.

The three is to guide the knowledge renewal and certificate education of logistics practitioners.

The four is to organize the editing and publishing of logistics textbooks and teacher training.

The five is to go out and invite in, and carry out exchanges and cooperation with foreign counterparts.

Second, under the guidance of the Ministry of education, we should do a good job in logistics discipline construction.

Here I would like to quote a speech by Comrade Li Lanqing in May 10, 2002 in the speech of the Fourth National Higher Education National Teaching Achievement Award and the third session of the award ceremony of the Ministry of education young teachers Award: "in the future, colleges and universities should shift the focus of reform to the adjustment of discipline structure and the improvement of teaching quality. According to the evolving trend of modern science and technology, we should actively adapt to the urgent demand of the strategic adjustment of China's economic structure to higher education reform. We should make full use of the favorable conditions formed by the previous reform in Colleges and universities, focus on the development of disciplines of high and new technology and applied disciplines, comprehensively carry out the adjustment of disciplines and specialties, promote cross disciplines and integration, create multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research centers, and develop new disciplines and interdisciplinary subjects. At the same time, we must avoid "1000 schools and one side", persist in adjusting measures to local conditions, combine local actual needs and the specific conditions of our school, give full play to our own advantages and strive to make a distinctive feature. This passage points out the direction for logistics discipline construction. Last year, at the Dalian conference, we had a heated discussion on the discipline nature of logistics, and reached a basic consensus. At present, many schools set up logistics research centers or logistics research institutes, set up logistics departments, and some are preparing for the establishment of logistics colleges. The next step is to do four things well:

(1) we must organize the best troops to carry out research on Logistics disciplines. I think logistics is an interdisciplinary subject, which is closely related to management, engineering, economics, transportation engineering and so on, but it is different from these disciplines. Logistics professional is now a directory outside professional, but as a regular professional to do, strive to enter the directory adjustment, but also strive to enter the first level disciplines.

(2) keep in mind that improving the quality of personnel training is the lifeline for the survival and development of colleges and universities. On the one hand, we need to expand the logistics schools, but on the other hand, there is no conditional school. I advocate that we should not rush to recruit students and go to professional schools.

(3) we should focus on cultivating leaders of outstanding disciplines. In my book "China logistics", I recommend Li Jingwen, Xu Shoubo, Wu Runtao, Wang Zhitai, Wu Qingyi, Zhang Wen Jie, He Mingke, and He Mingke as the first generation logistics experts in China. Now there are a number of leading young and middle-aged logistics researchers, and we will gradually push them to the front desk. China Logistics Institute logistics personnel training Specialized Committee intends to gradually establish the evaluation mechanism of logistics subject leaders. I also hope that you will participate in the logistics research projects at the national and provincial levels at the same time while teaching, and write some high level academic papers to participate in the annual annual academic conference on China's material flow. I also hope that you can declare your achievements in the science and technology award of the China Federation of logistics and purchasing established by the Ministry of science and technology. I firmly believe that after 3-5 years of hard work, there will be a group of young and middle-aged logistics leaders in China.

(4) as a compound industry, the logistics industry decides that the logistics profession must be multi-layered, multi-objective and multi-mode. But the key is to do a good job in undergraduate education, while doing well in undergraduate education, it is also essential to cultivate master's degree and doctoral points in logistics.

Third, logistics personnel training, logistics management personnel training as a key point, logistics management personnel, I think there are three levels:

(1) train excellent logistics entrepreneurs and speed up the development of a number of professional, modern and international logistics entrepreneurs around the development of large scale logistics enterprises with international competitiveness. With the spirit of innovation, entrepreneurship and management as the core, we should vigorously improve the quality of logistics entrepreneurs. In my view, COSCO Wei Jiafu, Chinese and foreign Luo Kaifu, China Shipping Li Kelin, zhongchu flood Kun, Datian logistics Wang Shusheng, and Bao Xiang logistics Liu Wu are all Chinese logistics entrepreneurs. We should strive to create an environment conducive to the growth of logistics entrepreneurs. China Federation of logistics and purchasing is creating the conditions for hosting the China logistics entrepreneur forum.

(2) build a team of logistics professional managers. The Party Central Committee and the State Council have asked for "comprehensively promoting the vocational qualification certificate system and strengthening the unified management of vocational qualification". Under the leadership of the Ministry of labor, we have formulated the standards for Logistics Engineers. The Ministry of labour has already been published in three levels: assistant logistics, logistics and senior logistics. In the fourth quarter of this year, the pilot will be launched next year. China Federation of logistics and purchasing has introduced the ITC certificate of procurement and supply chain management of World Trade Organization, and promoted the series of training certificate of logistics professional managers of China Federation of logistics and purchasing. The relevant associations are also pushing ahead with this work.

(3) a large number of logistics professional management personnel, such as transportation, warehousing, packaging, ports, customs, distribution centers, logistics centers, distribution centers, logistics information platform, and other professional management personnel and professional logistics engineering talents.

Let me give you an example. COSCO announced in October 5, 1993 that it was the 6 million 150 thousand largest shareholder of Singapore's listed company Sun Group. It became the largest shareholder of the company and renamed it "COSCO investment Singapore Limited". COSCO investment company has been developing rapidly in a few years. It was named one of the 10 best performing companies in 2001 by Singapore's business times. Ji Haisheng, President of COSCO investment company, believes that the most important successful experience is: "talent is the key to the development of overseas enterprises, and profit is the core of enterprise management." COSCO can go to the world stage, the key is to have a group of qualified international competition talents. COSCO has been engaged in international shipping business. In the long term foreign exchanges, many outstanding managers have been trained. They can quickly integrate into local society, operate and manage enterprises according to international standards and modern logistics concepts, so that enterprises can continue to develop in overseas competition.

Fourth, we should do a good job of the two links of teachers and teaching materials.

Logistics, procurement, teaching materials from scratch, there are nearly 10 different levels of teaching materials, many universities, colleges, secondary schools, many publishers have contributed to this, thank you very much. We have solved the problems, but have not completely solved the problems of high quality. The logistics talent training Specialized Committee decided to set up the national logistics teaching material editorial board, first of all, we should determine the core materials of different levels of logistics professional, organize high-level teachers to write, and strive to enter the Ministry of education textbook planning, as for professional courses and elective courses, each school can have its own characteristics. The Department of higher education of the Ministry of education has attached great importance to the construction of logistics teachers. Last year, the North Jiaotong University has been commissioned to conduct a training. Logistics personnel training Specialized Committee has decided to start training in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Chengdu starting from next year. After planning, the higher education department should be approved.

Fifth, we should attach great importance to the use of logistics returnees.

China logistics and purchasing Federation and China logistics society have begun to design and build a logistics talent pool. Of course, a process is needed. This talent pool should pay special attention to overseas students. Some of them are in Sino foreign joint ventures and wholly foreign-owned enterprises. Some of them are in the third party and fourth party logistics enterprises, some in industry or circulation enterprises, some in teaching and scientific research institutions, we learned from them, they come back from abroad, and are very dedicated in their respective posts, and have made achievements. But the logistics professionals in China are also excellent. Some of them have a small reputation and some can take the initiative. The integration of the two talents can play a better and greater role.

Sixth, promote the integration of production, teaching and research in logistics.

As a highly applied science, as a highly practical industry, logistics, as a highly theoretical discipline, is inseparable from the combination of industry, University and research. This is a direction. China's logistics demonstration base and China logistics experimental base, they are not only the pioneers in the industry, but also the combination of teaching and research. China's logistics development special fund established by Guanghua foundation is also ready to promote this combination. Schools must attach importance to the construction of logistics laboratories and attach importance to practice. In particular, secondary school and vocational high school education at this level should pay more attention to practical ability. The development of China's logistics industry is very fast. New situations, new changes and new trends are always visible. We should constantly enrich the teaching materials, pay attention to case teaching and improve teaching methods.

It is hoped that with the efforts of all of you, China's logistics talent education project will bear fruit and contribute to the development of China's economy.
