Model of skills and capabilities of the logistics administrator

Abstract

This chapter designs a model of the skills and capabilities required of a logistics administrator. The design of the theoretical model of these skills was carried out based on six skills: management in the supply chain, information technologies, quantitative methods, finance, legislation, and soft skills. Its validation was made through the judgment of experts in the area of the supply and logistics chain. The result obtained was a Kappa value of 0.715, a good value. To validate the reliability of the measurement instrument, it was applied to 20 people working in the logistics area. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was used, obtaining a value of 0.928, which allows the reliability of the instrument to be considered excellent.
