The BCIT School of Business + Media partners with many professional associations to offer various educational professional development opportunities. BCIT and the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM) have partnered to deliver courses in the following world-renowned APICS certification programs:
| Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) | Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) |
|---|---|
| CPIM certification may be right for you if you want to demonstrate professional knowledge in increasing an organization’s profitability by optimizing its production and inventory management within the “four walls” of the organization. | CSCP certification may be right for you if you want to demonstrate mastery of the extended supply chain, from the organization’s suppliers through to the end customer. The CSCP course covers topics that extend beyond the organization (e.g., globalization, IT in the supply chain, logistics, customer relations). |
