This webinar will kick off ASCM Greater North Jersey’s 2022-23 calendar by highlighting our education programs. This will serve as an informational session describing our globally recognized supply chain certifications. It is appropriate for those curious about our offerings as well as those who have been interested and perhaps deferred pursuing certification due to time constraints. We wholeheartedly welcome those who are currently certified and interested in adding credentials, or to share your story of how ASCM certification added value to your career.

Attendees will learn the following:

• What are the different ASCM offerings and which certification is right for me?
• WIIFW: What’s in it for WE? The value to me, my company, my suppliers and customers!
• ASCM Greater North Jersey’s course schedule
• Options for private on-site courses scheduled at your company’s convenience
  
  

Invite coworkers from multiple disciplines (Purchasing, HR, Finance, Production, Marketing, Engineering, Sales, etc.), and especially managers responsible for approving training! #askmeaboutsupplychain #youdemandwesupply

Keywords: ASCM, certification, supply chain management

ASCM – a not-for-profit international education organization offering certification programs, training tools, and networking opportunities to improve workplace performance. Formed in 1957, the mission of the organization is to advance end-to-end supply chain management.

Certification – the provision by an independent body of a written assurance (a certificate) that the product, service or system in question meets specific requirements. According to the U.S. National Council on Measurement in Education, a certification test is a credentialing test used to determine whether individuals are knowledgeable enough in a given occupational area to be labeled “competent to practice” in that area.

Supply chain management – the management of the flow of goods and services between businesses and locations. This can include the movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventories, finished goods, and end to end order fulfillment from the point of origin to the point of consumption.
