Finnish Association of Purchasing and Logistics

Finnish Association of Purchasing and Logistics LOGY is a voluntary association of private individuals and legal entities. The purpose of LOGY is to develop procedures for purchasing of materials and services and to promote physical logistics (i.e. transport, storage, handling) and the professional skills of employees in logistics for the benefit of the Finnish economy and society.

The objectives are to improve logistics and increase the internal and external integration of logistics, to develop the utilization of computer processing and data interchange in logistics and to present Finnish logistics services.

"Expertise required within the daily work of LOGYs members has encouraged the association to undergo a change. For example four subdivisions, called Forums, have now been in action couple of years around purchasing, SCM (supply chain management), warehouse and materials handling, and transportation", tells managing director Mikko Melasniemi.

The Forums serve their members as skills and networking centers that offer deeper knowledge in a collegiate atmosphere parallel with the association´s joint offering. The Forums aim to develop processes and systems, improve competitiveness, further education and professional skills as well as to enhance the area´s overall profile.
