CPSM1 Exam Format | Course Contents | Course Outline | Exam Syllabus | Exam Objectives

This course focuses on management and improvement of supply chain processes and performance. It will be valuable for students who would like to pursue a career in consulting or take a position in operations, marketing or finance functions in a manufacturing or distribution firm. We explore important supply chain metrics, primary tradeoffs in making supply chain decisions, and basic tools for effective and efficient supply chain management, production planning and inventory control, order fulfillment and supply chain coordination. We will also investigate topics such as global supply chain design, logistics, and outsourcing, several other recent supply chain innovations.

The class format includes lectures, case discussions, guest speakers, and simulation games. The content covers both quantitative and qualitative materials. The cases will feature high-tech companies as well as firms in more traditional industries such as apparel and manufacturing.

Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) is the first and leading not-for-profit professional supply management
organization worldwide. Its 47,000 members in more than 90 countries around the world manage about US$1
trillion in corporate and government supply chain procurement annually. Founded in 1915 by practitioners, ISM
is committed to advancing the practice of supply management to drive value and competitive advantage for its
members, contributing to a prosperous and sustainable world. ISM empowers and leads the profession through the
ISM® Report On Business®, its highly-regarded certification and training programs, corporate services, events and
the ISM® Mastery Model®. The ISM® Report On Business®, Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing, are two of the
most reliable economic indicators available, providing guidance to supply management professionals, economists,
analysts, and government and business leaders.

CPSM Certification Overview

The CPSM is globally recognized as the gold standard of excellence for supply management professionals, in
both the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors. The designation is transportable across industries, job
roles and regions, providing designation holders with flexibility and mobility.
The CPSM is for forward-thinking supply management professionals who desire to demonstrate a broad
understanding of the components of the profession. The program emphasizes the major competencies of supply
management. Those earning the CPSM will attain a greater understanding of end-to-end supply management
and be better positioned to positively impact their organization.

CPSM Eligibility Requirements

Earning a CPSM designation requires you to take and pass three exams, which can be taken in any order:

• Supply Management Core

• Supply Management Integration

• Leadership and Transformation in Supply Management

Candidates must have three years of full-time, professional supply management experience (nonclerical and
nonsupport) with a bachelors degree from a regionally accredited institution or international equivalent or five
years of full-time, professional supply management experience (nonclerical and nonsupport) without a qualified
bachelors degree.

All applicable experience must be in a professional position where the primary function is supply management.
Professional experience is usually defined as positions with decision-making authority and where independent
judgement is exercised. ISM does not require a candidate to work in all areas of supply management or be in a
management position. Proof of work experience is not required from those with a current C.P.M. certification.
ISM will evaluate work experience for candidates unsure if their current or previous positions are considered
applicable. The evaluation is optional, and there is a nominal charge.
The work-experience evaluation process allows a candidate to submit work experience documentation prior
to taking exams. ISM will return an evaluation to the candidate indicating if the experience is acceptable.
Candidates with acceptable experience should submit the evaluation with their original certification application
after they have passed the exams.
