“I want to express my sincere appreciation to APICS for the quality of its CSCP materials—how the information is structured and presented, how current and relative the information is, and how each section provides a summary and progress check. Most important, the pretest module feature helps to test and strengthen my knowledge base. I applaud APICS for going above and beyond to ensure a person’s success by providing several ways to strengthen the learning experience. APICS materials and the CSCP program certainly set the bar.”

“The APICS CSCP program is very useful in designing, introducing, and implementing cost reduction programs during these times of economic downturn. By looking beyond just the costs related to procurement and reviewing all real costs within the total supply chain, I’ve gained tremendous insights that often resulted in impressive opportunities to reduce various costs in the entire supply chain.”

Senior Executive Testimonials

“Since I work at a service-oriented company tied to the housing market, the exposure to customer relationships in the APICS CSCP program was extremely helpful to me in my day-to-day responsibilities.

Our company is establishing a fill rate metric to provide a benchmark and service indicators to our customer partners. This open, yet metric driven communication, was derived from the CRM exposure in the APICS CSCP study materials.

The APICS CSCP program exposes you to cross-functional disciplines and requirements in a company, which will broaden your perspective. This cross-functional view and understanding is important in any team-based service industry.”
Theresa Scully, CPIM, CIRM, CSCP, C.P.M.
Director of Inventory Management

“The APICS CSCP has helped me understand the complexities of global supply chain and break it down into parts that can be improved and/or re-designed. As an IT professional, the APICS CSCP has also enabled me to work together alongside supply chain professionals to successfully implement Supply Chain IT solutions.

The APICS CSCP has provided me the deep understanding of Supply Chain and helped me identify opportunities for improvement within my company. Such initiatives are critical for companies to emerge successfully from the current economic recession.”

Companies have to look beyond what they can do today in order to stay afloat, if not beat the competition. The APICS CSCP provides individuals the vision to steer companies in the right direction.”
