Brenda DeCoff / APICS Announces CSCP
Certified Supply Chain Professional
In March 2005, APICS announced the creation of the Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) designation to meet rapidly changing educational needs in the field of supply chain management. This new program is designed for professionals interested in increasing their knowledge of supply chain management, those currently working in the field of supply chain management, and for those individuals working with enterprise resources planning (ERP) systems.
APICS currently administers two internationally recognized certification programs—Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) and Certified in Integrated Resource Management (CIRM). With the addition of the CSCP designation, APICS enhances its validation of the disciplines within operations management, specifically production, inventory, enterprise, and supply chain management. This diagram provides a depiction of the differences between the CPIM and CSCP programs.
APICS retained the services of The Holmes Corporation, specialists in the designing, marketing, and distributing of educational products for association certification programs, to develop the CSCP learning system. The CSCP learning system will consist of a blended learning approach incorporating self-directed study courses, Web-based learning, and classroom-based education offered through colleges and universities, corporations, and the APICS network of local chapters throughout North America.
The CSCP program will be launched in conjunction with the 2005 APICS International Conference and Exposition, October 16-18, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
