third-party validation that their knowledge and skills extend past on-the-job experience and a college

education. As a result, thousands of supply chain and operations professionals across the country are

enrolling in courses to pursue APICS certification.

Of course, there are also other professionals who believe it is not worth the time and energy to work

towards a certification when it is not required in to work in the manufacturing industry. They value on the

job experience over credentials and certifications.

So whos right? Well, as well explain below, it all depends on what you want to do with yourmanufacturing career. In this article, well look at some of the costs and benefits of the APICS certification

and their value to operations management and supply chain professionals.

The Requirements for an APICS Certification

The first thing to understand is that there are two APICS certifications to choose from: the Certification in

Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) and the Certification as a Supply Chain Professional

(CSCP). The CPIM is more geared toward managing internal manufacturing operations such as production

and inventory management while the CSCP focuses more on managing global supply chains.

Before you enroll into one of the demanding eight-month APICS certification programs, you must first

meet the minimum work experience and educational requirements. Of the two certifications, CSCP has

more stringent requirements. These requirements are outlined in greater detail in the chart below.

Once you meet the minimum requirements, you must then pass a $500 exam composed of 200

questions to officially become certified. This process takes a lot of time and dedication, but being able to

add the certification seems to have some serious financial benefits.

candidates. However, much of the current demand is for skilled manufacturing workers. A 2012 study by

the California State University at East Bay, found that between 2006 and 2011 there was a 13.7 percent

increase in upper-level transportation, logistics and distribution management jobs and a 10.2 percent

increase in mid-level sourcing, procurement and supply management posit ions.

Why is preference given to skilled workers? Study researchers found that the heightened demand for

workers with special credentials in these fields is partially due to the fact that companies now rely on an

international flow of goods. As such, companies need workers with more critical thinking capabilities and

the know-how to efficiently move goods from Point A to Point B while maintaining profit margins.

2. On Average, APICS-certified Professionals Earn Higher Salaries

Beyond making your resume more attractive, theres a good chance that certification will help you

command a higher salary in your career. According to an APICS-commissioned study on the impact that

certification has on earning potential, APICS-certified individuals can expect to earn between 14 and 20

percent more than similarly qualified peers.

In some instances, just enrolling the APICS coursework can improve your earning potential. Melissa Lee

a production planner at a composites company in Orange County, CA received a 10 percent pay

increase just for studying for her CPIM certification. After passing three of the five required exams, Lees

managers noticed an increase in her efficiency and output and rewarded her accordingly.

3. APICS Certification Offers Multiple Paths to Career Fulfillment

CPIM-certified employees are taught the necessary skills to be efficient in inventory and production

management, global supply chain and customer relations. Meanwhile, CSCP-certified employees have a

tested understanding of global supply chain management and of highly specific technology and

international trade rules and regulations. However, both certifications develop skills that raise an

employees value and make them more attract ive to current and future potential employers.

For instance, one of the side benefits of the CPIM certification is that it teaches workers a common

language for various software systems that are often used in manufacturing production. This common

language is often essential to installing something like an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system or

develop sales and operation planning processes. As such, a CPIM-certified individual could find that their

skills are useful for technology implementation projects.

The CSCP, on the other hand, hones skills in global supply chain management, including customer
