Dear
Students,
The world we
know is going through an unprecedented state of flux geopolitical
conflicts, trade tensions, digitalisation, new consumer habits, climate
change and the ongoing COVID pandemic. Change is not new, but the
pervasiveness, convergence and how quickly these changes are happening in a
short time is quite a staggering phenomenon.
In the
logistics sector, the integrity and resilience of global supply chains have
been thrust to the forefront due to disruptions caused by the pandemic,
trade wars and conflicts. The pandemic also reminded many governments how
critical logistics capabilities are as an enabler of trade and industries.
Our
workforce in #SGLogistics rose to the challenge and ensured that our
essential supplies and commerce activities continued throughout this
critical period with few interruptions. Many enterprises have responded by
experimenting and transforming their business and operation processes to
leverage digital transactions, analytics, automation, platform
connectivity, IOT sensors, RPA, cloud services, AI-supported optimisation,
and digital twins etc.
Existing
jobs and new careers in #SGLogistics enterprises are evolving for us to
operate in the new norm. Supply chains and multi-modal transportation are
now configured for real-time monitoring and wired for pro-active
intervention via integrated platforms and control towers. Alternative
logistics options can be simulated in digital twins that are modelled to
support dynamic data-driven decisions. In other words, orchestrating supply
chains is fast becoming a norm - this will further reduce wastages and
unnecessary movements, resulting in a greener and cleaner world.

importantly, a broad base of diversity in talent and capabilities working

is also well placed to transform and lead as a Green Supply Chain Hub for
the world.
A day in

opportunities for businesses, and turn plans into reality for communities
and families to thrive in. Do you have what it takes?
