APICS Basics of Supply Chain Management (BSCM) Certificate – the CPIM foundation module (Retired)

APICS Logo The Basics of Supply Chain Management Certificate provides an excellent overview of supply chain operations and is backed up by an internationally recognised certificate for successful candidates.

Contact us for detailed course content and pricing.

It provides the platform for continued study in the APICS material towards the full CPIM Certification. It is common that an organisation may put an extended team through the BSCM class (possibly including representatives from Purchasing, Quality, IT, Technical etc) for a flavour of supply chain concepts & terminology, with a core group from operations & the supply chain planning function continuing on to obtain the four other modules which comprise the full CPIM content –
refer to our CPIM page, and to our other website specifically devoted to APICS training ( www.apics.training/courses/apics-bscm ).The material is normally delivered in-house at client site, typically as 10 half day sessions, or 5 full day sessions in preparation for the APICS examination. However, we do on occasion deliver open courses aimed at individuals, small companies, or new starters from larger organisations wishing to align themselves with an existing CPIM group.

Note, the BSCM course has been retired by APICS, it is no longer available and has subsequently been replaced by CPIM part 1 ( refer to either /training-courses/apics-cpim-part-1/ or http://www.apics.training/cpim-part-1 )
