APICS Certification

APICS currently administers an internationally recognized certification program—Certified in Production and Inventory Management. With the addition of the CSCP designation, APICS enhances its validation of the disciplines within operations management, specifically production, inventory, enterprise, and supply chain management.

By earning the CPIM and CSCP designations, individuals validate their knowledge and skill set in the field of operations management. Obtaining an APICS certification shows a commitment to the profession that leads to a sense of accomplishment, demonstrates value to employers, enhances earning potential, and provides a path to career advancement.
