CPIM

Certified in Planning and Inventory Management

Professional certification Supply chain and procurement

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.
