OSPINA-DIAZ, Milton Ricardo  and  SANABRIA-RANGEL, Pedro Emilio. General framework of analysis of logistic training in Colombia. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.19, pp.237-267. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.80.

The present work intends to make review on the state of the art of logistics in Colombia that allows to characterize its history and development, understand its current context and understand the demand for training in this area of knowledge. The present work also analyzes the current educational offer in logistics in Colombia at the different levels of formation. The coherence between the social requirements and the current conditions of the academic offer in logistics is studied. For this purpose, a global review of the literature is made in order to understand the state of the art of logistics worldwide, which will be the basis for the discussion; and a local review is also made in order to understand the situation and context of Colombia, especially within the context of the post-conflict. Logistics-related documents of Colombian and international organizations were reviewed to feed the discussion. Afterwards, synthesis and comparisons were made to allow the construction of the theoretical framework for this study. Based on these synthesis and comparisons a general characterization of logistics was made, emphasizing on Colombia and the current situation of the academic offer in logistics. In general terms it was found that there is a large number of local and international studies on logistics, which is an evidence of the growing concern about this area, and in Colombia this interest in logistics is parallel to the increase in the number of academic programs in this area at different levels of formation. However, there are still issues to review in the different regions and new challenges for the upcoming academic offers.
