How to become a logistics manager

First of all, know the logistics manager.

The position of logistics manager comes from some big companies in Britain and America. The English name is supply chain Manager or Logistics Manager, that is, logistics manager or logistics manager. Recently, this position has often appeared in job advertisements in newspapers and magazines. Because of its good treatment, many job seekers are eager to try. Logistics manager is still a new profession in China, but it has already existed abroad. Han Feng, who has only been engaged in this profession for half a year, has his own views and opinions on this new profession.

Gao Li, logistics manager of Guangzhou Hua Mao Industrial Company, originally majored in accounting at the university. After graduation, she came to Guangzhou to work alone. Because it is difficult for non-local household registration to find a suitable accounting position, she first applied for a salesman of a company, and a year later applied for a business sponsor of the current company. Last year, the company was reorganized, and Koryo was appointed as the logistics manager of the company by the boss.

At first, Koryo didn't have a particularly clear concept about the function of logistics manager. After company training and consulting foreign materials, she learned that the logistics manager is actually the "helm" responsible for the logistics supply of the whole enterprise. In other words, the logistics manager must be responsible for transforming the orders or supply forecasts received from sales into the company's recent leading production and supply plans, material demand plans and finished product distribution and supply plans, then purchasing the corresponding raw materials and packaging materials from suppliers, organizing and arranging the corresponding production plans, and then transferring the produced finished products to customers all over the country through a reasonable cargo transfer plan to ensure that the needs of customers are met. Therefore, the logistics manager plays a very important role in the internal management and operation of the company.

The logistics manager's work is very busy, because every stage of the supply and marketing plan, the procurement of corresponding raw materials, the organization of the production plan and other matters are very complicated, and several plans are interlocking. A slight negligence will hinder the whole logistics process, so Han Feng can't be careless. Every day, he follows the string and often doesn't even have time to drink tea and read newspapers for a while.

"Being a logistics manager is very stressful. Busy work is only one aspect, and the key is great responsibility, because the whole logistics process is related to the overall operation of the whole company's production and sales. If there is a slight omission, the company may suffer great losses, so I have always been very cautious when I work. " Koryo, with pretty short hair, said with a smile, and her face with a little light makeup showed a confident look.

Because of the great responsibility of logistics managers, general companies are very cautious when choosing employees in this area. The reason why Gao Li was selected by the company for this position has a lot to do with her usual lifestyle. Koryo is a serious and responsible person with a strong sense of responsibility. As an accountant, she can coordinate the company's booking and delivery plan well and do a good job in cost accounting. Moreover, her previous business experience has enabled her to have good communication skills and laid a good foundation for her work.

Some people describe the position of logistics manager as the nerve center of a factory or company, because for the production department, you are the planner and material supplier; For the sales department, you are the executor of the order. Therefore, the logistics manager who is related to the company's internal production coordination and sales lifeline must not be sloppy, and a strong sense of responsibility and communication skills are more important.

"This is a job that can easily arouse people's enthusiasm. Although busy and tired, it can exercise people very much. I have learned a lot from this job, which greatly improved my coordination ability, eloquence and adaptability, and also made me more confident. " Indeed, Koryo, dressed in a dark blue suit, is a capable white-collar worker at first glance. She is confident but not aggressive, with a strong speech but a very kind and peaceful attitude.

Gao Li said that it is really not easy to be a qualified logistics manager, and there are certain requirements in terms of professionalism, work experience, including personal style. First of all, you should have certain foresight, logical thinking ability and strong communication skills. Professionally, it is more suitable to engage in mathematics, accounting, computer and industrial economics. Having certain production or sales experience will enable you to make quick decisions in understanding orders, arranging production plans and purchasing materials.

At present, the company's logistics work has been on the right track. Gao Li said that she is also learning by doing, but she is still very confident in herself. After work, she will attend some NBA business administration training courses and want to take CPA this year. Her constant charging has helped her work imperceptibly, and Gao Li believes that she can do her work better.

According to reports, logistics managers in foreign-funded enterprises are usually the necessary positions for promotion to administrative managers and factory directors. Moreover, there are professional grand companies abroad specializing in this position to help enterprises establish, cultivate and improve the level of logistics management.
