QF is a 7-level hierarchy of different qualifications awarded through an associated quality assurance mechanism. The hierarchy starts from the lowest Level 1 to the highest Level 7, against which all quality assured qualifications can be benchmarked according to a set of Generic Level Descriptors. The Logistics Industry has been taking part in implementing QF initiated by the Education Bureau for the academic, vocational and continuing education sectors, its primary objective is to promote lifelong learning through quality education and training, thereby enhancing the overall quality and competitiveness of the local workforce. Why is QF needed in the Logistics Industry? Logistics Industry is one of the four pillar industries in Hong Kong. Currently the Logistics Industry is facing fierce competition from neighbouring regions and challenges from the rapid technologisation of the industry. The QF initiative helps the development of the Logistics Industry. This initiative is hence strongly supported by the employers, employees, trade associations and professional bodies. Progress of QF Implementation in the Logistics Industry The Education Bureau has assisted the Logistics Industry, among 11 other industries, to set up its Industry Training Advisory Committee (ITAC) to take forward the QF initiative forward. Since its establishment in May 2006, the Logistics ITAC has been tasked with drawing up its Specifications of Competency Standards (SCS) in respect of the “Shipping” and “Air Freight & Express” branches of the industry, whilst the SCS of three other branches viz. “Local Transport & Distribution”, “Terminals & Warehouses” and “Supporting & Ancillary Services” will be drawn up at a later stage. The SCS will form very good reference materials for curriculum design by various educational and training providers, and for human resources development of employers. To ensure that the final SCS is reflective of the competency requirements and performance standards required of the industry, the draft must go through intensive consultation among stakeholders in order to gain industrywide acceptance and recognition. In this connection, a series of industrywide consultation activities will be conducted during a 6-month period from February to end July 2009. The Newsletter for The Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport in Hong Kong President Prof. Sze Chun WONG, FCILT Major uses of SCS Employers Employees Training Providers •• •• •• •• •• •• Identify skill gaps and training needs Design in-house training programmes Enhance the effectiveness of human resources management •• Encourage lifelong learning Wider choice of suitable learning programmes Recognise prior experience and competency •• •• Design training programmes to meet the needs of the industry Develop SCS-based courses Enhance the quality of courses to align with QF development SCS consultation sessions The first consultation session on the SCS for the Logistics industry was successfully held on 11 March. It was organised by the Logistics ITAC and the objectives of the consultation session were to introduce the implementation of QF in the logistics industry and the uses of SCS. The consultation session started with the welcoming remarks by Ir Dr. David Ho, Chairman of the Logistics ITAC. The other speakers included Mr. Albert Lo, Convener of the SCS Drafting Subcommittee, Mr. Chan Kam Wing, Convener of the SCS Drafting Working Group on Shipping, representatives from the Education Bureau and professional writers. ▲ Speakers and guests of the SCS consultation With the aim to collect more views on SCS from the industry, the next consultation session on 11 March 2009 session has been held on 16 April 2009. Tasks Ahead Thanks to the unstinting support of the ITAC members and related stakeholders, QF development in the Logistics Industry has progressed well as planned. Looking ahead, the Logistics ITAC will undertake the following tasks (in coming two years): (a) to identify the training needs of the industry and to promote the adoption of the SCSs for training and HR purposes; (b) to encourage the design and launch of SCS-based courses at different QF levels, and to encourage training providers to provide articulation pathways; (c) to formulate the appropriate RPL mechanism for the industry; (d) to prepare for the drafting of the competency standards of the remaining three branches. The Logistics ITAC appeals to the members of the industry to render support and assistance to the above-mentioned tasks. ▲ Open discussion on the SCS consultation session on 11 March 2009 cilt international CILT International Annual General Meeting 2009 CILT International Council Meeting 2009 (ICM2009) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE 2009 Annual General Meeting of the Institute will be held at the La Plantation Hotel, Pointe Aux Piments, Mauritius on Tuesday 5 May 2009 at 14.00 to conduct the following business: The upcoming ICM will be held from 4th to 6th May 2009 at Mauritius.

It is no doubt the urban transport sector contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and is a prime target for climate change mitigation strategies. Prof. John Black, an international recognised academic for his research in the planning and quantitative analysis of land use, transport and the environment, shared the research studies of Delhi MRT and its potential application to planned Jakarta MRT.

From the Chair of Education and Training Committee – Mr. Tony Tan CPD is defined as “the systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge, skills and competence throughout a professional’s working life.” It has always been considered to be good professional practice. The change is in its perceived importance in the current business environment. As a professional and a member of the CILT, you need to make a commitment to ensure that the knowledge and skills you gained when qualifying for membership are systematically maintained at a suitable level. It is strongly recommended that you take a positive approach to your personal and professional development. Members are required to maintain sufficient records and documentary evidence to support their attendance or completion of CPD activities for a minimum of two years, and to provide such records and documentary evidence when they are selected for a random audit to be conducted by the Institute. CPD audit shall be carried out in May 2009. When selected for audit, you will receive a letter and accompanying information about the documentation required, explanatory notes about the audit and CPD requirements – a minimum of 200 CPD points for the last two years starting from 1st January 2007. You will be told the timeframe for responding, and given advice about what you should do if you shall encounter difficulty in complying with the audit requirements and/or the timeframe. Details of the CPD can be found in the Membership Handbook. The Guidance Notes of the CPD Audit Programme and the CPD Record Sheet are all available for download from the Institute’s web site (www.cilt.org.hk/ Download Area). The Guidance Notes contain details of the past activities and particulars of CPD points offered.

Mr. Hui was appointed Director and General Manager of a local ferry service company and a cross boundary ferry company in January 2000. His first task was the introduction of frequent and regular ferry schedules to meet the demand of his passengers within the financial capabilities of his companies. His next move was the introduction of disciplinary actions and reward schemes to strengthen the awareness of his staff on safe operation of his fleet. The significant drop in the number of accidents at sea resulting in injuries to his passengers had reflected the success of his actions. Mr. Hui was keen in strengthening the training to his operational staff. In addition to sending them to a wide variety of training courses both locally and overseas, he introduced high standard of operational exercises to raise the awareness of his crew members on safety and environmental protection matters. His effort was fully supported by the various government and law enforcement agencies, which took part and steered the many joint exercises conducted in Hong Kong waters.
