The awarding body’s page Fees, dates and entry requirements are there, not here.

What it is

A certificate in production planning and managing inventory, demand and operational capacity, and one of the most established supply chain credentials. It has two siblings from the same association: one for the whole supply chain and one for logistics and transport.

Who it suits

Production planners and inventory, procurement and operations officers in factories and distribution companies.

What it requires

Work experience in operations or warehousing helps in understanding the material; no particular qualification is required.

How it is earned

An exam booked online, with preparation material from the association or partner centres. Practice on real inventory data does more good than memorising terms.
