What People are Saying about APICS
CSCP
“The APICS body of knowledge helped empower our employees to make
strategic decisions that support the company’s overall success, increasing ontime delivery by nearly 50 percent.”
Kristie Huntress, Global Business Process Manager , Dow Corning
“The APICS CSCP program is very useful in designing, introducing, and
implementing cost reduction programs during these times of economic
downturn. By looking beyond just the costs related to procurement and
reviewing all real costs within the total supply chain, I’ve gained tremendous
insights that often resulted in impressive opportunities to reduce various costs
in the entire supply chain.”
John van Veen, CSCP, Procurement Consultant, Benefit Value by Procurement
“The CSCP program proves a good framework to tackle operational and tactical
issues and provides a strong foundation to improve on a more strategic level.”
Director Supply Chain Management, Johnson & Johnson
