Introduction
The Certified Supply Chain Professional Certification is one of the most popular and sought after global supply chain certificates.
The CSCP covers everything outside of the four walls of manufacturing, from suppliers to end users. You will possess a better understanding of the manufacturing process, sales and operations, demand planning, distribution, forecasting, optimal levels of efficiency and better ways to run and operate any business.
Obtaining a CSCP can open up job opportunities, increase your salary, and propel you into a powerful global supply chain network of movers and shakers.
What is it?
ASCM, the professional association of supply chain management, is the educational institute that administers the certification.
In the US, nearly every large city has an ASCM supply chain chapter where you can learn more information about its certifications and networking opportunities.
The CSCP, in particular, is a supply chain curriculum that covers:
- Supply Chains, Demand Management and Forecasting
- Global Supply Chain Networks
- Sourcing Products and Services
- Internal Operations and Inventory
- Forward and Reverse Logistics
- Supply Chain Relationships
- Supply Chain Risk
- Optimization, Sustainability and Technology
In order to gain your CSCP certification, you must sit and pass a 150 question, 3.5 hour exam that covers eight supply chain content modules.
A score of 300 or more out of a possible 350 is needed to pass.

Conclusion: Is the CSCP right for you?
The CSCP designation can be a powerful addition to those looking for a globally recognized supply chain certification that covers suppliers to the end-user journey.
You will gain a better understanding of demand planning, sales and operations, shipping, logistics, distribution, warehousing, reverse-logistics and much more.
You will need to sign up on the ACSM website for study materials and to schedule your exam.
Expect to budget around $3,000-$4,000 for this professional certification.
Once you become certified, a whole new world of supply chain jobs will be available to you and you will have access to your local as well as national chapters to network, get involved, and to continue your supply chain career.
As with any other certification, it’s what you make of it, but I would say ASCM is a powerful supply chain organization where the skies are the limit.
