Logistics specialist with a federal certificate: Specialists for goods flows

Logistics specialists are responsible for setting up and maintaining flows of goods that are both efficient and ecological. They work in various areas of logistics: in procurement, production, warehousing, distribution and disposal. Logistics specialists take on operational tasks, analyze and optimize internal or cross-company logistics processes and ensure that goods are in the right place at the right time. Depending on the size of the company, they work as clerks, project staff or in lower management as team leaders.

In the course of globalization, logistics has become a decisive success factor in all industries. The planning, organization and control of the flow of goods as well as the correct disposal and recycling of waste materials form the basis of an internationally networked and ecologically sustainable economy. The demand for logistics specialists with theoretical know-how and practical skills is correspondingly high. The professional examination for logistics specialists with a federal certificate has been in existence since 2000. It is well established in the industry and opens doors to further training.

Logistics specialists with a federal certificate are employed in commercial, industrial and service companies as well as in forwarding and logistics companies in all sectors. They undergo a generalist training program that provides knowledge in procurement, production, warehouse and distribution logistics, waste disposal, recycling, supply chain management, finance and accounting, economics, process management, employee management and self-management.

Logistics specialists with a federal certificate take on different operational tasks depending on their field of work. In procurement logistics, for example, they select suppliers and compare prices and valuations. In warehouse logistics, they evaluate the optimal storage and conveyor technology and monitor incoming and outgoing goods. Logistics specialists with a federal diploma also examine the respective logistics processes in a department-specific manner, identify weak points, plan proposed solutions and implement the solutions. They also develop logistics concepts with their superiors and implement some of these independently.

Logistics professionals with an eye for the big picture, without forgetting the details, who aspire to a management position and want to expand their skills are in the right place with a logistics specialist training course with a federal certificate.
