Related business experience:
APICS defines “related business experience” as work that is directly
connected to some aspect of the supply chain. This can include raw
materials extraction, transportation and logistics, procurement,
manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, retail, customer service,
software design and support, and other areas that directly affect the
supply chain. Workers who operate transportation or materials moving
equipment or machines or processing equipment that require an
intermediate level of training would qualify. Managers, officials,
professionals, technicians, sales personnel, quality and quality control
personnel, and skilled craft workers will generally be considered
eligible.
Examples of work experience that does not qualify include clerical and administrative support positions such as data entry, duplicating machine operator, file clerks, office machine operators, secretaries, telephone operators, order clerks and/or unskilled labor positions where the duties require little or no independent judgment or specialized training.
The CSCP program extends beyond internal operations to include all the steps throughout the supply chain—from the supplier, through the company, to the end consumer—and prepares you to effectively manage the integration of all of these activities to maximize a company’s value chain.
Through the CSCP program, you will:
• Learn to boost productivity, collaboration, and innovation
• Discover how to positively affect lead times, inventory, productivity, and bottom-line profitability
• Gain greater confidence, and peer and industry recognition
• Enjoy the potential for career advancement and increased earnings
