CPIMCSCP

CPIMCSCP is a professional credential that combines two established certifications in the field of supply chain management: CPIM (Certified in Production and Inventory Management) and CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Professional). Issued by ASCM (Association for Supply Chain Management), the designation signals broad knowledge across production planning, inventory management, and end-to-end supply chain design, planning, and execution.

The CPIM portion certifies expertise in production and inventory operations, typically covering modules such as Basics of Supply Chain Management, and advanced topics including strategic management of resources, master planning of resources, detailed scheduling and planning, and execution and control of operations. The CSCP portion assesses understanding of supply chain design, planning and execution, and improvements and best practices, with emphasis on technology, risk management, and global considerations. Together, CPIMCSCP reflects a practitioner who can align operations with broader supply chain strategy and performance objectives.

Eligibility for CPIMCSCP generally involves meeting prerequisites and successfully completing the required exams for both CPIM and CSCP certifications. Candidates pursue the CPIM and CSCP components through study programs and examinations offered by ASCM, and the combined credential is earned upon passing the relevant CPIM and CSCP assessments.

Certification maintenance for CPIMCSCP follows ASCM’s continuing education framework, requiring ongoing professional development credits and periodic renewal or re-examination to retain the credential. The designation is used by professionals seeking recognition across manufacturing, logistics, procurement, and supply chain management roles.
