Now that I have the background from the Learning System, I
am more comfortable dealing with day-to-day operations,
co-workers, and vendors. I can speak and understand the
language of my logistics suppliers. By telling them I'm a CSCP, they know I'm knowledgeable.
David Kesinger, logistics coordinator at ELESYS North
America:
When Kesinger started using the APICS CSCP Learning
System, the value became more apparent. "I didn't have much
time to study. The online pre-test confirmed that I was
strong in some modules and not-so-strong in others, so I
could study efficiently - focusing my time where it was
needed."
Before beginning the program, Kesinger had hoped that
studying while juggling a rigorous work schedule would pay
off, which it did. "Now that I have the background from the
Learning System, I am more comfortable dealing with
day-to-day operations, co-workers, and vendors. I can speak
and understand the language my logistics suppliers use. By
telling them I'm an APICS CSCP designee, they know I'm
knowledgeable."
"The designation is helpful, but the knowledge has been
invaluable. By implementing innovative ideas and best
practices I've learned, we gain efficiencies which frees up
time for other long-term projects."
Because the CSCP program provides an overall understanding
of the supply chain, it offers valuable training for
operations and management.
The APICS CSCP Learning System training program has been
a positive experience for staff and management alike. To
date, Guillermo Juvera, Director of Supply Chain at LG
Electronics USA, has offered two courses and trained more
than 40 employees from multiple departments.
"Everyone was pleased with the APICS CSCP Learning System
course. The readings were complete and self-explanatory. The
group reporting feature allowed me to monitor the progress
of the group, making sure everyone was completing their
online questions and tests. To create a sense of
competition, I aggregated test scores by department and
shared them with the group. It was a great way to motivate."
The employees have been delighted that LG Electronics
provides this supply chain training and many have gone on to
earn the APICS CSCP designation. The program has benefited
LG Electronics management in increased company supply chain
knowledge and expertise and improved communication and
information sharing across departments.
