Introduction

METALOG | Metaframework for Logistics | 2013-2015 | www.project-metalog.eu 2


General information about the project.

Project Partners:• DEKRA Akademie GmbH (DE)• Arbeit und Leben Hamburg (DE)• AFT IFTIM (FR)• 3s research laboratory (AT)• ITB Bremen (DE)• Instituto sui Transporti e la

Logistica Fondazione (IT)• Pannon Egyetem (HU)• perspektive3 GmbH (DE)• Lagermax (AT)

Associate Partners:• Piacenza Intermodale (IT)

Duration of the project:• 10/2013-09/2015


Project background.

• The transport and logistics sector in Europe is one of the fastest growing industries with a very heterogeneous structure.

• In the last 10 years, new occupations appeared and traditional occupations have changed fundamentally.

• For many of the (new) occupations, there does not yet exist any formal vocational training up to now.


Project aims.

FRAMEWORK NETWORK

• improve transparency and comparability of transport and logistics qualifications in Europe ...

• establish a forum for the anticipation of future skill needs …

… by developing a sectoral qualifications framework for transport and logistics.

… by consolidating a European Logistics Skills Network.

TARGET GROUPS: logistics companies, employees, training providers, social partners, regulatory bodies.


Benefits of the Logistics Qualification Framework.

• increasing the flexibility of the labour market

• fostering competition within the sector and thus improving quality of work processes, work results, personnel management, and qualification of workforce

• enhancing acknowledgement of the transport and logistics skills, jobs and the sector as such

• facilitating sectorial negotiations at European level

Benefits of the Logistics Skills Network.

• sustaining and increasing quality of skills development in the sector and facilitate innovation through sharing and borrowing information and best practices

• offering a valid basis for decisions to be met on national and international levels

• enhancing business opportunities

• unified strong voice in negotiations

Analytic basis for the Logistics Qualifications Framework


The Logistics Qualifications Framework / 1st draft.

Based on numerous work process analyses carried out in logistic companies in the project partner countries between November and December 2014, a first draft of a LogisticsQualifications Framework has been developed. This happened in three steps.


The Logistics Qualifications Framework / 1st draft.Step1 describes the identification p of work processes. The LQF is meant to show all relevant work processes in the field of transport and logistics. As a result of close observation and meticulous documentation of the individual work tasks, 10 core work processes common across companies and countries were identified.


The Logistics Qualifications Framework / 1st draft.Step2 Each work process shows different fields of competency which were differentiated in step2. The fields of competency within one work process are gradient from simple to more complex competency requirements.


The Logistics Qualifications Framework / 1st draft.Step3 The LQF is closely related to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and therefore serves to make qualifications in Europe better comparable. So in step3 all work processes have been allocated to levels which are corresponding with the EQF levels. ‐Some single work processes belong to more than one level.



Results of the work process analyses in the project partner countries

• detailed description of fields of competency per work process

STEP 2

• identification of 10 core work processes

STEP 1

• allocation of the work processes to the competency levels of the European Qualification Framework

STEP 3




STEP 1 – IDENTIFICATION OF 10 CORE WORK PROCESSES

1. Pick and pack orders

2. Receive and transfer goods and document it

3. Transload, repack, store and retrieve goods

4. Ship orders

5. Control and administrate goods and shipment

6. Draw up offers and prepare contracts, supervise customer- relations

7. Organize and implement the shipment and storage of goods

8. Deal with insuracnes and customs procedures

9. Enhance the efficiency and range of services offered by company

10. Plan and schedule resources

STEP 2




1. Pick and pack orders

STEP 2 – DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF FIELDS OF COMPETENCY PER WORK PROCESS

He/she

- picks stocks- uses scanners for

identification of stocks, amounts, locations etc.

- takes pictures for documentation

- practises „cling filming“

- picks stocks applying principles like FIFO or LIFO

- packs goods and deliveries

- compile goods into loading units

- uses floor-borne vehicles- uses in-house software- takes decisions on pallet

types to use
