Chartered Supply Chain Manager (CSCM)®
Chartered Supply Chain Manager (CSCM)®
The American Certified Supply Chain Manager (CSCM®) certification shows future employers that you have the practical knowledge, insights, and professional expertise to understand how logistics and integrated supply chain can contribute to firm competitiveness. This certification explores ability to conceptualize, design, and implement supply chains aligned with product, market, and customer characteristics. Business competition is now between supply networks rather than individual corporations. The certification tests for managerial ability in administration of the flow of products, information, and revenue across supply chains, which differentiates the ability of supply networks to fulfill customer needs.
Topics and Description
ACSCM® examination tests your managerial capabilities in logistics, digital coordination for supply chain integration, inventory management, risk pooling, procurement, product and process design, and international supply chain management, including logistics, digital coordination of decisions and resources, inventory and risk management, procurement and supply contracting, product and process design, and revenue management.
The objective is to evaluate how to:
- Align supply chain integration strategy with the uncertainty conditions of supply and demand.
- Optimally position the push-pull boundary to leverage economies of scale and economies of scope.
- Evaluate distribution strategies to balance responsiveness and efficiency.
- Evaluate strategic alliances for logistics and retailer-supplier relationships, such as vendor managed inventory.
- Design implementation processes for partnerships, such as vendor managed inventory, that involve information sharing and shared governance of processes and infrastructure.
- Evaluate outsourcing decisions by applying the buy-make framework.
- Design e-procurement strategies for a firm’s procurement portfolio of products and services.
- Evaluate how the logistics process can be constrained by product design, and the implications of constraint reduction on logistics performance and market responsiveness.
The ACSCM® certification examination is the overall assessment of the understanding of the framework for SCM that requires cross-functional integration of key business processes within the firm and across the network of firms that comprise the supply chain.
