The Certified in Planning and Inventory Management (CPIM) program is all about helping you truly understand how an organization runs from the inside out.

  • It builds a strong foundation in areas like strategic planning, S&OP, and demand management, then walks you through how internal and external supply is planned, executed, and continuously improved.
  • Along the way, you’ll deepen your understanding of inventory and distribution, detailed scheduling, quality management, and enabling technologies—always with a practical focus on how these pieces work together.

The goal isn’t just to know the concepts, but to confidently apply the concepts across the extended supply chain in your day-to-day work.
