Preamble

Logistics has substantially changed its role and significance in business for the last two decades. In connection with intensification of competition, globalization and sales market individualization and growing customer requirements to  the quality of logistic service, competence in  the area of logistics is becoming strategic resource, expecting from the staff deeper and various knowledge. Nowadays logistics in Russia has become usual functional block of management in majority of domestic companies. Merely in Moscow at the beginning of 2006 according to recruiting and consulting agencies` data eight thousand companies  were registered to have divisional structure of logistics management: office, section, managerial board or department. In these organizational departments work tens of thousands managers of different levels: from operational logisticians to vice-presidents and directors of logistics department. In Russian business new concept of management: Supply Chain Management(SCM)  is growing in popularity, presenting integrated approach in logistics. In organizational structures of leading edge companies, operation on Russian market, appear new SCM departments as well as posts for employees like manager of delivery chain planning, integrated SCM manager, supervisor of delivery chain control and monitoring.

Educated personnel as well as properly constructed base of logistic knowledge are necessary for efficient use of leading edge concepts, methods and technologies of logistics and SCM. But here it is where not everything is all right. The majority of people, working in logistics departments in Russian companies and being on the payroll logisticians of different levels do not possess system preparation and specific education in logistics, not to mention SCM. Besides the largest deficiency in knowledge is demonstrated in top and middle management of logistics, which may entail serious consequences for development of business.

Gap overcoming between the quality of personnel of logistics departments and the quality of their preparation (apart from obvious solution to increase the number of colleges in Russia, where speciality «Logistics» will be introduced and development of structures of complementary education) should be based on diversified system of professional education in this field. High requirements to logisticians, to level of professional knowledge in the sphere of logistics and SCM, the ability to coordinate work of adjoining departments, to integrate logistic activity within the whole delivery chain determine the necessity to create multistage structure of preparing and retraining staff, considering branch and functional specialization of logisticians. Unfortunately, but only five Russian colleges are conducting training courses in logistics. In 2005 the experiment to approve state educational standard of new branch «logistics» ended successfully and one can hope that approximately ten colleges will join the process of preparation of logisticians in 2006-2007.However for large Russian market it is a drop in the ocean. For the time being  a few commercial teaching structures are not able to cope with the task of training professional logisticians, which in majority fulfill short programmes of improving skills and short-term seminars.

 

Nowadays only HSE ICTL implements the whole variety of preparing programmes, including second higher education and MBA  in  speciality 080506 «Logistics and Supply Chain Management» as well as the range of exclusive programmes «Executive Logistics Manager», programmes of professional retraining with further European certification.
