1What 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.
2Who it suits
Production planners and inventory, procurement and operations officers in factories and distribution companies.
3What it requires
Work experience in operations or warehousing helps in understanding the material; no particular qualification is required.
4How 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.
When a centre or body posts a course that prepares for it, we send you one email about it.
