Hi, Supply chain professionals considering a certification face a bewildering array of options. There are multiple organisations and certifications from which to choose. While acquiring a certification can have a significant effect on your career trajectory, it is a process that requires a considerable outlay of time and money. Door individuals in the early stages of their career, it can be difficult to make an informed choice. To help this decision easier, I'd suggest a set of certifications which are in fact worth pursuing. Whatever certification you choose, you should first make sure it is as widely recognised as possible. The following are the three well known and reputable certifications: The Centre Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) and certificate in production and inventory management (CPIM) offered by the Association of Operations Management (APICS) The Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM) from the institute for supply management (ISM) The SCPro from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP)
