The Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) program is a new industry educational and certification program created to meet the rapidly changing needs of the supply chain management field.

From manufacturing to the service industry; regardless of whether a company is serving business or consumer markets, is for profit or not-for-profit, the increasingly important role of supply chain management is affecting all organizations. Customers expect quality at low prices, and speed of delivery is becoming more important. As a result, effective supply chain management has become essential to successfully compete in today's global marketplace.

The CSCP program takes a broad view of the field, extending beyond internal operations to encompass all the steps throughout the supply chain. From the supplier, through the company, to the end consumer, the CSCP program provides you with the knowledge to effectively manage the integration of supply chain activities to maximize a company's value chain..

This class can be taken in preparation for CSCP certification or to suit individual needs. To receive CSCP certification, applicants must successfully pass the comprehensive exam offered through APICS.
