DHL Supply Chain: SEA's supply chain partner of choice expanding capacity and future proofing warehouses By the end of 2023, through targeted investments in the western region, DHL Supply Chain Singapore will grow by over 50 percent in its warehouse capacity, surpassing 230,000 square meters of space. Two key projects anchor this expansion:

• A state-of-the-art 17,000 square meters single-floor facility
• Acquisition of existing 60,000 square meters of space from a local business with infrastructure to support five classes of Dangerous Goods.

Investing in talent for a future-ready supply chain

DHL Supply Chain Singapore will create 300 new job opportunities in 2024. Structured training programs are in place to upskill our employees and hone their leadership skills allowing greater career advancement.

This includes Certified, an internal development program to train certified supply chain specialists. Over 70 percent of DHL Supply Chain Singapore's workforce have completed its in-house Certified Supply Chain Specialist (CSCS) training program which helps to expand their knowledge across all facets of supply chain operations, from transport and warehousing to sales and finance. Additionally, half of the employees have graduated from the 18-month Certified Supervisory Academy (CSA), tailored for aspiring front line managers as they learn the requisite skills to effectively engage, inspire, and lead their teams.

"A report by the Singapore government showed that nearly a third of the jobs in supply chain will be outdated in two years. We have put in place programs that will help upskill our employees and allow them to pursue different roles in areas such as data analytics and automation," said Hew.
