Can a buyer or Procurement officer from FMCG switch to other fields? Like, Logistics or similar fields?

Yes Can be like Marketing

Sure, you can as they are functions in the supply chain.

Of course, yes. Logistics, purchasing and inventory management are the most closely related fields and all are part of Supply Chain Management.

Sure he can, it’s based on his talent, the new jobs hiring formula are based on talent, experience & education, any person can acquires experience / education but he can’t earn telnet or its hard to earn it

Logistic is military word brought into civilian which mean the provision of services

Procurement considered part of logistic the answer  yes he can switch easily  

Yes Logistic  or Traffic is part of the Supply Chain Management. As a procurement professional, you should have an overview and day to day interaction with logistic coordinators and thus be familiar with the process to ensure items that you have procured had reach customers on time. Learning curve will be minimal.

After analyzing your question, I think you can't............

It may look strange to you and other members.. But in reality, although you can switch as many different fields as you can, if you have ability and faith in yourself... in this case , two jobs (procurement officer and logitics) are more or less, the same or closely related to each other and its very easy for any anyone to switch bitween them...

As after reading your question it seams that you are not confident enough to switch your carrier.. Take your time, study the other field throughly, build your confience and faith in you and switch the field.....

Thanks

Yes, as long as he's breathing, nothing is stopping him Except Himself 

Of course, your good and bad experiences as a buyer or Procurement officer can bring fresh ideas that can accelerate the logistic process. Certainly, it will take some time to learn about the existing processes that you haven't met before. Every change is a new challenge, utilize your potential and always remember that progress and improvement of yourself shall be your motivation number one.

Yes , But needs to learn more about Logestics,Supply Chain and Warehousing Operations and Best Practise in each .
