Certification in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) Courses

The CPIM program includes the following course modules:

  1. Basics of Supply Chain Management (BSCM)
  2. Master Planning of Resources (MPR)
  3. Detailed Scheduling and Planning (DSP)
  4. Execution and Control of Operations (ECO)
  5. Strategic Management of Resources (SMR)

Prospective students who are beginning the certification process are strongly encouraged to begin with BSCM. The recommended sequence for the next three is: MPR, DSP and ECO but these can be taken in any order. SMR is considered a capstone course and should be taken last.

Classes that do not meet the minimum enrollment will be subject to cancellation.

Certificates of Completion are awarded to each student at the last class meeting.
Student attendance and participation are crucial elements to enhancing the learning experience. Students who miss three (3) or more sessions may not receive a certificate.
This will be at the discretion of the instructor.

Certification in Supply Chain Management (CSCP) Courses

The CSCP program consists of a 10-session evening course that provides students with a solid understanding of the latest supply chain management techniques and prepares them for the APICS CSCP™ national examinations.

Complete information about the CSCP program can be found here.
