Both the Association and government agencies have long recognized the different roles played by the public and private sectors. the underlining difference is that the industry is subjected to market forces and intense competition, both locally and internationally whilst the government is concerned with wider socio-economical developments, regulations and compliance and its impact to the nation. In juggling multiple policy considerations, the SlA represents and engages in numerous government consultations, trade advisories and working groups to safeguard the interest of the logistics industry.

ShapingNetwork&

Productivity


established since 1973, the Association has developed into a natural focal point for Singapore logistics. Its commitment is to create a hive of networking activities to allow both players and business associates to share latest developments and cutting-edge technologies, build upon these new business relationships and generate business opportunities.

throughout the year under review, SlA engaged business associates in meetings and worked closely with member-companies with a view to enhance operations, productivity and competitiveness to meet future demands. underlying the success of this effort is the engaging membership base of diverse companies that support this knowledge and business exchange platform. Many have considered such deliberations as a core part of their business strategy.

the Singapore government has adopted a national, strategic and long term approach to achieve sustainable and continuous improvement in Workplace Safety and Health performance. our economic well-being hinged on a safe and healthy workplace, as poor safety management could lead to costly losses. In support of this objective, the SlA is committed to work hand in hand to inculcate a culture of safety and health amongst our member-companies and their personnel.

likewise, Singapore’s strategic location and excellent network of connectivity have made us a global logistics hub and a supply chain management nerve centre. Security in the supply chain is owned by an amalgam of private stakeholders and regulated by multiple international and national government jurisdictions. It is a global issue. through numerous work projects, the Association has joined in this concerted effort to promulgate the secure trade message, as any disruption to the supply chain will have significant economic impact on our nation.

Since historical time, Singapore has built on its advantageous geographical location to take pole position as a logistics hub. the extensive trade links provide companies with greater market connectivity, bolstered with the reduction of tariff and non-tariff barriers. A 2010 World Bank report ranked Singapore the 2nd logistics hub in the world, ahead of advanced nations and economic giants like netherlands, Sweden, Japan, Hong Kong and China.

leveraging on this excellent connectivity and strategic location between the east and West, as well as with its acclaimed logistics and supply chain capabilities, the Association is well poised to fulfill one of its foremost constitutional objects – “to develop, promote and enhance Singapore as a regional and international logistics centre with a reputation for reliability, integrity and high standards in logistics practice and management.”

Beyond the accolade of Singapore being a world’s premier logistics hub with state-of-the-art infrastructure, excellent connectivity and negotiating complex supply chains, lie in the competency of the work force in the sector, majority of whom, constitute the base of the skill echelon. Many logistics companies too have recognised that the only way to compete is through heavy investment in education and the continuous upgrade of manpower skills through training and development programs. the Association is committed to addressing human resource issues and charting an environment for continuous learning for logistics personnel since its first training programme was rolled out in 1986. It has embarked on a new journey with the setting up of the logistics Academy. the quest to promote excellence in logistics remains unchanged. the academy will strive to offer relevant and quality programmes in various fields in logistics to meet sectoral needs.

The Logistics Academy (TLA) is established under the aegis of SLA on 25 February 2010. It is registered as a Private Education Institution (PEI) from 3 August 2010 to 2 August 2011 under the provisions and regulations of the Private Education Act 2009 in Singapore. TLA’s success in obtaining the PEI status attributes to the robust training administration of the academy in compliance with the mandatory registration requirements and legislative obligations spelled out under the Enhanced Registration Framework. The framework is administered by The Council of Private Education.
