APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP)

In October of 2007, APICS launched the Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) certification program at the International Conference in New Orleans. The goal of this certification program is to provide individuals with the skill set necessary to understand and manage the integration of activities within today’s increasingly complex supply chains.

CSCP prepares individuals to effectively and efficiently manage supply chain activities that span across and beyond an organization’s four walls leading to reduced costs and increased profits.

CSCP provides in-depth knowledge and understanding in the areas of supplier and customer relations, international trade, the use of information technology, and physical logistics.
