Education & Training
Highly-trained specialists that enable Dutch logistics service providers to take control in logistics and supply chain management are crucial to an innovative industry. In the Human Capital program plan, Dinalog sets itself the task of reinforcing logistics education on all levels and, where necessary, developing new courses in the Dinalog Academy together with the industry.
The logistics and supply chain industry in the Netherlands has a great need for skilled and highly-qualified staff. To also attract international students, the range of courses on offer must be better than that in other European countries. The demand for accredited post-master and post-experience courses is highest. Together with its partners in education, Dinalog is to develop various top-level courses, training sessions and seminars. In addition, the knowledge developed in Dinalog´s R&D projects will be anchored in the regular higher vocational and university courses.
Master classes
On April 29, 2010 professor Santiago Kraiselburd addressed an assembly of business strategists. The title of his lecture: ‘Corporate Finance and Supply Chain Management: Speaking the Language of the CFO’. On December 8, 2010 he gave another master class on this topic. A second master class ‘Supply Chain is the business Model’ that day was given by Professor Luk van Wassenhove. During 2011 Dinalog is planning more master classes due to innovation in the industry.
Sessions
In 2010, a start was made with eleven breakfast sessions. Thirty have been planned for 2011. On average, twenty-five people join a breakfast seminar at Dinalog. In 2011, the sessions are going to be distributed throughout the country and will be regularly organized in cooperation with the industry bodies, industry partners, knowledge institutes and the Dinalog Knowledge Distribution Centers.
During a session, an expert discusses a current topic for logistics innovation: professors with specific professional knowledge, entrepreneurs who share their experiences or a customs officer. In two hours, guests receive tips, tricks and tools for improving processes on the work floor.
