Logistics director status

At the General Managers manufacturing enterprises, as well as companies that work closely with suppliers, the question of finding a logistics director arises almost from the very birth of a commercial structure. In some firms, the logistician performs the functions of only a coordinator of traffic flows, while in others he becomes a key figure, since when solving issues related to the movement of goods, he uses different instruments to reduce logistics costs, including customs payments.

Before proceeding with the search for a candidate, the General Manager must determine for himself the status of the director of logistics in the company. In no case should this leader be made “equal among equals”. In the hands of the logistics director, not only data on all shipments of goods are concentrated, but also full information about clients. He possesses commercial and often highly confidential information (especially for manufacturing and distribution companies) (See also the article "How to protect commercial and official secrets").

The logistics director is obliged to make decisions that both his subordinates and sales managers must reckon with. At the same time, in accordance with his authority, he bears the entire burden of responsibility for the result. That is why it is necessary that the logistics director should be equated in status with the Deputy General Director.

How logistics functions depend on the size of the company

The logistics director must be able to delegate part of his functions to deputies (subordinates). The larger the company, the more attention he has to pay to coordinating work.

AT big company for the role of logistics director, a charismatic personality should be selected who is able to organize the work of a large number of people, distribute tasks, clearly outlining the scope of responsibility.

In the average company, the logistics director typically recruits a department of employees who are assigned to perform well-defined tasks. In such a department, subordination is rigidly fixed, and the delegation of managerial functions to subordinates is insignificant.

In a small company, one logistician is enough and, if necessary, an assistant responsible for routine functions.

It is also important that the company's employees do not perceive the logistician as a person trying to take away their profits or additional earnings. So, the task of the General Director is to convey to each employee the following:
the logistician reports directly to the General Director;
the logistician must help managers technologically simplify their work.

Responsibilities of the Logistics Director

The Logistics Director is responsible for the following main functions:
Coordination of the work of the logistics department. The logistics director must be able to describe key business processes, unify the work of staff, and develop job descriptions for subordinates. All this will allow new employees to quickly get involved in the work of the company and have a clear idea of "what we are doing here."

Also, the logistician should partially transfer his functions to subordinate managers and coordinate their work. To do this, employees need to be provided with the necessary software and information support. For example, while working as a Logistics Director for a tire company, I developed a program with which the order manager could ensure that containers and machines were fully loaded on order (see How the functions of a logistician depend on the size of the company).

CEO speaking
OAO Nidan Juices is one of the three largest Russian manufacturers juice products. According to Business Analytics, JSC Nidan Juices owns 17.9% Russian market juices and more than 46% of the juice market in the Siberian region. The company produces juice products under the trademarks Caprice, Caprice Tea, Moya Semya, Sokos, Champion, drinks based on Da! juice.
Andrey Yanovsky | General Director of OAO Nidan Juices, Moscow

When choosing a logistics director, I was looking for a "restless" person. It often happens that the logistician does not offer any, even obvious and simple changes in business processes and procedures. With this approach, there is no need to talk about cost savings. For example, the choice of the optimal service provider (for example, auto or independent rail carriers) should be regulated: one of the options is to hold a tender every three months for their services.

My task is to formulate ambitious but achievable goals. The task of a logistician is to show personal interest in the goals set and to bring them to life. For this place, you need to find a purposeful and proactive person who likes his work.

Establishing personal contacts with directors of transport companies. The logistics director should know by sight all the directors of the transport companies with which your company works. This will allow you to find some original collaboration schemes, come to a compromise in difficult situations, prevent the actions of the logistics department employees that harm the company (kickbacks, etc.).

CEO speaking
Ledovo Group operates in three adjacent segments of the frozen food market: seafood, mushrooms and rice-containing mixtures. Produces products under its own brands "Salmon", "Snezhana" and Bon Appetit. The total annual turnover of the group is 25 million US dollars. The group of companies is a member of the Rusbrand Association, which has united Russian and foreign companies to combat counterfeiting and gray imports and develop common rules for the game on the market.

The logistics director needs to be able to communicate and be persuasive. For a clear organization inner work unit, he must have good organizational and analytical skills.

Forecasting. Ability to assess the market situation transport services(including the cost of services, changing rates for transportation by one or another transport) is one of the most important skills for a logistics director. Without forecasting, it is impossible to take into account the transport component in the cost of goods, and therefore, to correctly set the final price of the goods.
Work with customs, specific cargoes. A number of functions of the head of the logistics department may depend on the specifics of the company's activities. For example, if your company works with Russian Railways, then you need a specialist who represents in detail the specifics of interaction with those stations railway where goods are shipped or received. The logistician must also know the cost and timing of certain works.

If your company is engaged in foreign economic activity, questions will inevitably arise regarding the customs clearance of cargo, the choice of an international forwarder. In this situation, the requirements for the logistics director increase, since any mistake can result in downtime at the border, fines for improper execution of international documents.

The specifics of your cargo, which implies special conditions transportation. In this case, the task of the logistics director is to organize the work of the department in such a way that each employee knows exactly the conditions for the transportation of goods and chooses the right vehicle (see Logistician's functions depending on the type of company's activity).

LLC "Granit" provides services, among which - the organization of road transport, sale professional equipment for extinguishing fires, supply of components and spare parts for restaurant equipment. The company is a pool dealer construction companies Moscow.
Sergey Klimenkov | Director for Innovative Projects, Granit LLC, Moscow

One of the very specific types of logistics is logistics in restaurant business. Delivery times are very important here. The absence of certain goods at the right time can complicate and often paralyze the work of the entire restaurant complex. For example, you suddenly run out of detergents and it will not be possible to quickly purchase and deliver them. As a result, the sanitary and epidemiological station may impose such fines that you will lose all profits and be forced to close the restaurant. All this should be taken into account when formulating the requirements for the applicant for the position of logistician.

We need a very punctual, executive person who knows how to professionally work with perishable goods, food, alcohol. Applicant for this position must know the city in which the restaurant complex is located, as the logistician determines the route of the car from one warehouse to another. When working with suppliers who organize the delivery themselves, he must carefully control the range and timing of orders.

Given the described specifics, I would prefer a candidate who, in addition to professional skills, will have the ability to make decisions quickly and take responsibility (in some situations, he will have to change routes very quickly, there will be no time to think and there will be no opportunity to consult).

How to select candidates: advice to the CEO
Functions of a logistician depending on the type of activity of the company

Manufacturing enterprise. The leaders of such companies will need a director of logistics who:
understands the conditions of cargo transportation with which your company works;
has experience working with railway stations;
can formulate necessary requirements for a forwarding company;
is able to draw up a package of shipping documents;
freely orientated in the market of transport services;
knows how to choose the best routes and modes of transport offered by forwarding companies;
freely operates with professional terms;
can calculate the loading rate of the rolling stock selected for a particular route.
The applicant for the position will not interfere with stable ties in logistics circles.

Transport company. Head transport company it is necessary to select a logistician with knowledge:
document flow of the transport company;
specifics of certain types of transportation and rolling stock.
In addition, this person must have stable connections among agents of transport companies, specialists in customs clearance and be able to convince potential clients in the correct choice of this transport company.

Distribution company. The criteria for selecting a logistician in this field of activity are very similar to the conditions for production company. However, there is an additional specificity: often the distributor delivers to a certain city and (or) region, and the applicant simply needs to be able to route traffic flows, taking into account a large number of addresses. Naturally, the logistician must know the workflow and special terms.

Based on materials provided by the author of the article

Looking for a generalist. It is much easier for a person who has worked both in transport companies and in production to find a common language both with a client and with his subordinate (agent).

Pay attention to education. Often in vacancies there is a phrase: "Education is not important, the main thing is work experience." I think this is fundamentally the wrong question. The traditions of higher education have not yet been canceled. The ability to quickly master practical skills, the possibility of self-learning in the process of work are very helpful to the logistician, they allow them to assess the situation in time, make a competent forecast, and find a common language with partners. However higher education it costs a lot and pays off handsomely (see Are there specialists with specialized education).

CEO speaking
Nadezhda Kopytina | President of Ledovo group of companies, Moscow

The logistics director is responsible for reducing the cost of storing goods, for optimizing its cost. He must have experience in automating the logistics service. His official duties cover the entire supply chain: from transportation, handling, packaging, distribution, warehousing and delivery to order management and purchasing. It should also represent the specifics of working with all types of transport services and customs. Therefore, highly professional, educated specialists with experience in a company in the same business area or in enterprises with similar principles of industry logistics are looking for this position. In addition, a prerequisite is the possession foreign language, mostly in English.

Looking for someone with at least 3 years experience. During this period, a person manages to visit different situations, faces a number of problems and gains experience in solving them. Even the mistakes he made are a significant experience (“how not to do it”). For three years, a person also earns the most valuable thing - business connections. It is almost impossible to achieve this in a year or two.

Interview key candidates in person. It is desirable that the interview with the applicant for the position of Director of Logistics be conducted by the General Director. A personnel officer can be entrusted with the primary screening according to the criteria you set: age, education, work experience in a particular business area. You should be included in the selection when there are several candidates for the position and you need to make a final choice.

Apply testing.
General The director can check the suitability of the candidate for the position by asking questions on the following topics:
cargo delivery scheme in a certain direction;
approximate cost of transportation;
conditions of transportation of a particular cargo;
cost optimization;
necessary shipping documents;
delivery terms;
a list of forwarders capable of working in this direction.

Seek references from previous employers. Instruct the personnel officer to call the applicant’s previous place of work and find out the reason for leaving. In this way, it will be possible to fill in the blank spots in the candidate's biography.

Logisticians manage money
Ifservice LLC is the logistics division of the Eksmo Publishing House holding. It is the central distribution warehouse of the publishing house, serving both customers and a network of regional warehouses.
Andrey Klimenko | Deputy General Director for Technology, Ifservice LLC, Moscow

In recent years, I have regularly had the need to search for and evaluate applicants for the positions of director of logistics, head of the purchasing department, purchasing managers, analysts, etc. At the interview, I give candidates the same tasks, which I ask them to solve during the conversation. All these tasks are related to money and contain many aspects that, in my opinion, all logisticians should understand.

I will list the main ones:
What is a founder and what is an employee.
What is a business, how does it work, where does the profit come from, where and for what does it go.
What is working capital.
Who, how and on the basis of what decides to change the amount of working capital.
Who manages the use of working capital.
What are the principles of purchasing logistics.
How is procurement budgeted?
What are the methods of working with customers and suppliers and what problems arise when interacting with them.
Are there specialists with specialized education

When selecting candidates for a logistics position, keep in mind that the first training programs in the specialty "logistics" appeared only in 2000.

At that time, only six Russian universities received permission from the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation to introduce a new specialty "logistics" on an experimental basis: State University - Higher School of Economics, Russian Academy of Economics. G.V. Plekhanov, State University of Management, St. Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance, St. Petersburg State Engineering and the University of Economics and Rostov State Economic University. In 2002, they were joined by the Moscow State Technical University. N.E. Bauman. Thus, for quite objective reasons, there are currently very few logisticians who have received a specialized basic education. Therefore, you can pay attention to candidates with higher non-core education - economic or technical, as well as candidates who have received additional education majoring in logistics.

According to the article: Friday V. Instructions for finding a logistician // Personnel business. 2005. No. 9. September

And here is an example of one of the simple, at first glance, tasks. Condition: “I trade apples in the market and make money on reselling. I bought from a wholesaler of apples for 100 rubles. Made a markup - 30%. By the end of the day, I sold everything and received 130 rubles in my hands. Question: “For what amount should I buy the next batch of apples from the same wholesaler?” According to my observations, most often candidates react to this task in the following way:
a complete stupor, and on the face of a person it is written that he is looking for a hidden catch;
answer: "For 130 rubles, of course ...".

After receiving the second answer, I usually wonder how then I (the merchant) will pay the rent for a place in the market, pay taxes and how I can buy something for dinner in the evening. The mystery is that few of the performers and managers understand the simple rule of procurement: “If the business is stable and there is no serious expansion or curtailment of activities ahead, then you need to buy (by amount) as much as you sell.”

My answer is this: “First you need to determine what the inventory should be(per week of sales, per month, per year). Then decide if I want to increase my investment in the business or if I intend to make a profit from a one-time investment. If it is supposed to increase investments, I can buy apples for any amount that I want to invest and can find. If I intend to fix investments, then on this and all subsequent days I must buy goods for 100 rubles. And every day put aside your earnings in your pocket - the next 30 rubles of profit.

What does a Logistics Director do?

In charge logistics director includes the following items:

1. Long-term planning and construction of logistics forecasts.

Best Article of the Month

If you do everything yourself, employees will not learn how to work. Subordinates will not immediately cope with the tasks that you delegate, but without delegation, you are doomed to time pressure.

We published in the article a delegation algorithm that will help you get rid of the routine and stop working around the clock. You will learn who can and cannot be entrusted with work, how to give the task correctly so that it is completed, and how to control staff.

For example, in a company like Russian Railways, the director of the logistics department must deeply understand the peculiarities of interaction with points (stations) of the railway at which goods are received or shipped. At the same time, the logistics specialist needs to be aware of the duration of each work and its cost.

If the company carries out foreign economic activity, then additional obligations arise regarding registration customs cargo and choosing an international freight forwarder.

Expert opinion

For the position of director of logistics, I was looking for a "restless" person

Andrey Yanovsky,

General Director of OAO Nidan Juices, Moscow

The logistics director must be an active, energetic person who is interested in the success of the organization, since often these specialists may not contribute to business processes even obvious ideas. In this case, you should not even mention any savings. Let's give a simple example: the choice of the most suitable service provider should have certain rules. It is possible, for example, to organize a tender for such services once every 3 months.

This specialist should be able to take the initiative when it is necessary, clearly set goals and achieve them, love their work and work with full dedication.
