APICS becomes ASCM — Association for Supply Chain Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

APICS<\/strong><\/a> is a non-prof­it asso­ci­a­tion, the lead­ing source of knowl­edge in end-to-end Sup­ply Chain Man­age­ment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 45,000 mem­bers world­wide, its cer­ti­fi­ca­tion cours­es cov­er all oper­a­tions: from the sup­pli­er’s sup­pli­ers to the cus­tomer’s clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APICS cer­ti­fi­ca­tion pro­grams<\/strong> are the inter­na­tion­al stan­dard. They val­i­date the skills of pro­fes­sion­als in Sup­ply Chain Man­age­ment<\/strong><\/a> oper­a­tions man­age­ment, pro­duc­tion and inven­to­ry management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addi­tion, its pro­grams are designed by pro­fes­sion­als and are aimed at pro­fes­sion­als. They are based on inter­na­tion­al best prac­tices and are applic­a­ble to all types of com­pa­nies and indus­tries and all sizes. Final­ly, they are updat­ed every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The asso­ci­a­tion wants to be a vec­tor of inno­va­tion in the field by propos­ing new ser­vices or prod­ucts and partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the ASCM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ASCM encour­ages man­u­fac­tur­ers<\/strong> to opti­mize their sup­ply chains, secure their com­pet­i­tive advan­tage, and there­by impact their bot­tom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
