The concept of sustainable development aims to improve the future generation's living standards and to change the current generation's quality of life. The institutionalizing of the developments and successes in the field of education which is the fundamental component of sustainable development is very important from the point of view of being able to create a sustainable future. Although the extensive change and transformation efforts being expanded in our contemporary educational institutions have met with measurable success, the same cannot be said about the success of their sustainability. In this study the phenomenon of sustainable development is examined specially within the context of the successful orientation initiatives of public educational institutions. In Turkey, the field research on this subject has been carried out by three educational institutions that hold the European Foundation Of Quality Management (EFQM) based National Quality Prize (NQP). The results off the research show; important problems in the sustainability of the successes secured in relation to quality of education and customer satisfaction in educational institutions in the primary and junior high school domains. It has been observed that the obstacles in sustainable development in education are generally administrator based. Also the sustainability phenomenon of the success achieved in educational institution is influenced by the problems of other public structures.

The global competition oriented-enterprises, sea, land and rail route enterprises of the nations, strategic agricultural and industrial production centers, energy production and distribution enterprises as well as the strategic public organizations such as armed forces and law enforcement agencies will tend toward advanced professionalized outsourcing applications. The production cost competition will be replaced by the supply-chain cost competition. As it is, it is within the claim that the new generation suppliers turn the logistic sector of the operational ability and expertise needed labor force into an out-and-out area of employment. On the other hand, the organizations based on the information and communication network in America and in Far Asia, day by day tend toward using performance-based logistics and 3rd party logistic applications. In logistics, the affordability of the augmentation of human sources and supplier demand with skilled labor make it already necessary to deal the supply-chain and logistics management in a strategic dimension. In this study, a set of determination and proposals about the supply-chain in the strategic organizations and logistics management activity requirements are presented.
