17 November - 18 November 2003
Contractor Logistics Support 2003
SAE Media Group’s Second Annual Conference on Contractor Logistics Support will address the critical areas of Military Integrated Logistics and examine how current and future logistical support will be provided for the battlefield of the 21st century. This event will examine the growing trend to contract out Military Logistical Support to commercial companies. It will address the country specific policies and look at how commercial companies will provide logistical support to meet the Military’s needs.

CLS 2003 will examine the role of CONDO (Contractors on Deployed Operations) and LOGCAP (Logistics Civilian Augmentation Program) in evaluating the role of the contractors in the battlefield. It will also examine the advantages and disadvantages of this trend and look at the future of logistics support. Contractor Logistics Support will give case studies on the logistical policies and requirements from individual countries as well as detailing how they will provide logistical support in the future operational environment.

The afternoon of day 2 will consists of two stream sessions: Stream A: Supply Chain Management and Stream B: Life Cycle Costing. Delegates will have a choice of attending one of the two concurrent sessions. Following the stream sessions, the delegates will re-group to finish the conference with a look at the future of Contractor Logistics Support. Contractor Logistics Support has played a major role in sustaining the forces and contributed to successful missions in the past. It will play an increasingly important role in future deployments.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
