Training in Cuba around the subject of Logistics is manifested in study plans of the university courses of Industrial Engineering and Economics. In both cases, subjects are taught, although in the first it covers a discipline that, in the final years of training, introduces into the profile of the Industrial Engineer general elements focused on management, not on logistical operation, in accordance with the profile to which it corresponds. the program.

The Cuban business environment, seen as an employer, expresses the widespread need to have technical personnel with skills to manage warehouses and transportation parks, organize and carry out foreign trade operations and coordinate processes with a customer focus, using ERP systems and with knowledge updated.

In Cuba, the studies carried out indicate that Logistics has become a key factor to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of companies and institutions and to raise the standard of living of the population. It is not possible to develop logistics in a generalized way in the business and institutional sector of the country without having logistics professionals (just as it is not possible to develop medicine without doctors or computing without computer scientists).

In this area, the need to develop the training of trained personnel to operate processes that involve technical knowledge of Logistics is supported. International logistics training ranges from certification in specific topics and superior professional technical knowledge to operate processes, to university and postgraduate training. The existence of Logistics Engineering careers and short cycle variants are present in universities in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the United States. As a common element that supports these study plans, the permanent execution of Logistics in the economy and the need to constantly update the technologies on which it is based stands out.

The development projections in Cuba manifest in what is stated in the Vision of the Nation for 2030, the Guidelines of the VII Congress of the PCC and the execution of strategies in the Mariel Development Zone, elements that directly refer to Logistics as a differentiating factor in the execution of our Economy. The training of professionals at different levels and with different scope in logistics management will support the implementation of these guidelines that guide the future of

The different Organizations of the Central State Administration express elements that indicate the need to have professionals with technical knowledge in Logistics, both for business and institutional management, in the chains of the economy and in the development of the country. These needs are manifested in the aspects indicated below:

• Ministry of Economy and Planning MEP: (1) Development of Logistics Systems as one of the bases of Business Improvement, (2) Implementation of multi-business contracts and electronically, (3) Integrated reconciliation of plans, investments, inventories and request for imports of companies within the framework of the supply chain in which they operate.

•  Ministry of Communications MINCOM: (1) Organization of electronic commerce in national wholesale trade.

•  Ministry of Higher Education MES: (1) Technical training in logistics to meet the demands of the business system.

This requires an accelerated process of appropriation of the tools and concepts that must be available to superiors capable of using logistical knowledge.

The Higher Technician in Logistics must work in positions related to logistics in companies of any branch and service institutions and public administration. Their training will contribute to the development process of the logistics function in companies and institutions, which constitutes a development need for the country.

With the conception of a higher technical profile, the professional will be able to apply knowledge to operate and manage logistics using updated logistics management tools and ERP systems, coordinating actions based on the end customer.

The focus on final customer satisfaction will contribute to the impact on improving the population's standard of living due to more efficient and effective management of the logistics networks of the National Economy.

In the dynamic and developing context imposed by the Guidelines of the Economic and Social Policy of the Party and the Revolution, the Cuban Economic and Social Model of socialist development and the National Plan for economic and social development until 2030, the Higher Technician in Logistics must play a relevant role that will support different sectors and strategic axes.

The impact on the strategic axes for the productive transformation of Cuba until 2030, defined as the driving forces that allow achieving the Vision of the Nation, is manifested in:

• Strategic Axis 3 Infrastructure. By declaring the objective of converting the country into a regional logistics center and contemplating as indirect positive effects the reduction of transaction and logistics costs and the promotion of the articulation of productive chains; The impact of having trained personnel for the logistics management of investments, projects and implementation of infrastructure assets in the various branches of the Economy and its networks is evident.

• Strategic Axis 4 Human potential, science, technology and innovation. By proposing the basis for integrating the results into productive chains and value networks, as well as the training of highly qualified human potential and the generation of new knowledge; The impact of specialized training in logistics issues is confirmed to raise the qualities of the country's human potential, with updated knowledge in logistics technologies to promote innovation and development within the framework of economic chains.

The impact on strategic sectors, defined under the criterion of being those that allow the development of chains that promote the strengthening of the internal integration of the economy, that allow overcoming logistical or infrastructural limitations, and increase economic efficiency and competitiveness, is manifested directly in :

• Strategic Sector 4 Integrated transportation, storage and trade logistics. By highlighting the importance that the operation of integrated logistics processes has in the economy.

• Strategic Sector 5 Integrated logistics of hydraulic and sanitary networks and installations. By indicating the need to conceive in an integrated way the planning and implementation of the country's hydraulic management logistics.

The above elements support the relevance of the Short Cycle Higher Education Level training program for the training of the Higher Technician in Logistics, as well as its direct connection with the development perspectives for Cuba.

The field of action is defined as: Logistics Systems and Value Networks, both internal to companies and institutions and external, connecting the network of suppliers and customers to the final consumer.

The basic professional problem to be solved by the Higher Technician in Logistics focuses on:

Operate business and institutional logistics processes that enable them to provide a high value-added service to their clients or consumers, ensuring the conditions, capacities and resources for their efficient and effective operation.
