The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, in cooperation with the American Chamber of Commerce, has launched the implementation of a training program aimed at improving operational efficiency in the logistics and supply chain management sector, while aligning business practices with European Union standards.
On January 12, the first module of the program, titled “Principles of Supply Chain Management,” was delivered over a four-day period and attended by approximately 100 participants, representing member companies of the American Chamber of Commerce as well as other businesses operating in the domestic market.
The program is implemented by the Supply Chain Management Center, a leading institution in Romania with over 20 years of experience in professional training in logistics and supply chain management. The modules are designed to enhance participants’ operational capabilities by strengthening strategic customer relationships and increasing flexibility to adapt to an increasingly dynamic and competitive logistics environment.
During the first module, trainer Andrea Mureșeanu addressed key topics related to logistics and supply chain management, which were further illustrated through practical Harvard University case studies.
The training program is designed for both operational and managerial staff of companies operating in the logistics and supply chain sector, combining theoretical knowledge with practical application. An important component of the program also focuses on raising awareness of the legal and regulatory framework that Albanian companies will be required to implement as part of Albania’s European Union accession process.
Participants evaluated the module as highly useful and practical, actively engaging through Q&A sessions with the trainer and discussions directly related to their daily operational challenges.
The training program will continue in the coming months with the delivery of five additional modules, aimed at strengthening leadership, digital, and operational skills to enhance efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainability in the logistics and supply chain management sector.
