Supply chain outlook
Supply chain is seen as a strategic asset. The post-recession global marketplace recognizes supply chain management as a key driver of business success and viability.
Supply chain management is a well-established role in industries beyond manufacturing, including retail, health care and technology.
Supply chain and operations management jobs are in demand. 200,000 U.S. supply chain jobs will go unfilled annually until 2018 for lack
of qualified talent.*

Why APICS CSCP is critical to supply chain success
The supply chain is all about cooperation and collaboration.
Supply chain management professionals need to understand the interactions and inter-dependencies across the functions, and the often conflicting pressures and imperatives of the various participants.
Many operations and supply chain professionals may not have had the opportunity to work in all aspects of the supply chain and therefore might be limited in their understanding of these interactions.
CSCP provides insights into how the various pieces work together and what tools, approaches, technologies and measurements support and encourage achievement of supply chain objectives.
A CSCP designation demonstrates a grasp of that knowledge and documents the individual’s competence─for the benefit of both the individual and the organization.
