Certified Supply Chain Professional FAQs
WHAT ARE THE DUTIES OF A CERTIFIED SUPPLY CHAIN PROFESSIONAL?
Supply chain professionals may work anywhere along the supply
“chain” that links production, distribution and delivery of
commodities, goods and products. This may include purchasing and
procurement, fabrication and manufacturing, transportation and
warehousing or final delivery to stores and individual consumers.
Supply chain managers oversee one or more aspects of these
chains.
IS CERTIFICATION IMPORTANT FOR SUPPLY CHAIN PROFESSIONALS?
Certifications such as the CSCP ensure that you have learned
end-to-end supply chain operations. As supply chains become more
integrated and complex, the CSCP signals to employers, team
members and clients that you have knowledge of each step in the
logistical supply chain. Certification also sets you apart as a
serious professional who has completed a challenging program of
study for your own development.
HOW HAS COVID-19 IMPACTED SUPPLY CHAIN JOBS?
Experts agree that the Coronavirus pandemic has placed
unprecedented stress on global supply chains. The Harvard
Business Review noted that the companies who have successfully
adapted to new supply chain realities have combined technology
with leading-edge skills to map, view and manage their supply
chains for quick response to disruptions. This trend toward
real-time supply chain management indicates a demand for
well-trained, highly skilled supply chain professionals.
