It is often said that people are a company’s most important asset. Yet, how many companies demonstrate an understanding of that principle? Excellence in logistics and supply chain management depends on companies recognizing employees as an extremely valuable piece of the corporate puzzle. After all, logistics processes are labor-intensive, and hence the importance of people.
Logistics processes not only are but will continue to be complex and people driven. The complexity is not necessarily conceptual; rather it is due to the number of opportunities for defect given the large number of steps and the amount of paperwork involved. Although many companies are looking for the logistics “magic bullet” from technology, the fact remains that logistics is about processes, and people execute processes. Whether we are unloading trailers, filling out bills of lading, or using sophisticated tools to design milk runs, it is the human mind that determines the outcome.
Human capital management in logistics is no different than perfect order management. That is, we need to have the right number of the right people in the right place, and all that at the right cost. Definitely easier said than done! It is well known that most organizations have significant room for improvement. Progressive companies are recognizing that logistics and supply chain activities require educated, trained, and experienced professionals. This is particularly true if the organization is embracing Lean and Six Sigma in the supply chain.
