APICS 4

APICS is the leading professional association for supply chain management. Providing  research, education and certification programs to derive innovation and resilience.

APICS offer 3 certifications: 1) CPIM; 2) CSCP ; 3) CLTD
CPIM (Certified in Product and Inventory Management)
The CPIM is an in depth survey of production and inventory management techniques and skills.  It dives deep into how a company plans, manages its inventory and production.  The content is primarily geared for work within the four walls of the company.  Many companies still see this as a supply chain certification but it is somewhat limited from a supply chain perspective

There are no pre-eligibility requirements for CPIM.  You must pass an exam for each of the five modules to receive CPIM Certification.

Basics of Supply Chain Management
Master Planning of Resources
Detailed Scheduling and Planning
Execution and Control of Operations
Strategic Management of Resource

CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Management Professional)
The CSCP is a broader survey of the value chain, from the customer’s customer to your supplier’s supplier.  It covers supply and demand issues and how to organize and operate a supply chain across multiple companies.  Its content is geared beyond the four walls of the company.

You must pass one exam that covers all three modules to receive the CSCP Certification.

APICS Fundamentals of Supply Chain Management.
APICS Supply Chain Strategy, Design, and Compliance.
APICS Implementation and Operations.
