APICS CPIM Part 1 Exam Guide
The APICS CPIM Part 1 certification (previously Basics of Supply Chain Management or BSCM) is an entry-level module and covers what you would expect – the basics. You’ll learn the concepts that govern the world of supply and demand, how the flow of goods and materials affects final output and how supply chain management works in different industries, including retail, distribution, manufacturing and service industries.
The topics of the CPIM Part 1 exam include:
A. Introduction to Supply Chain Management
