CPSM Professional in Supply Management ExamESSENTIALS Exam Study Guide & Review Questions 2018/19 Edition

Contents of this books have been verified and updated in September 2020. The CPSM qualification enables professionals to gain a clear understanding of their organization's supply operation and enable managers to take an active role in critical decisions. It is slightly different from APICS's CSCP in that it is targeting those who wish to have a broad understanding of all components of the profession. It focuses primarily on strategic supply management, less on fundamental or tactical level knowledge. CSCP places heavier focus on integrated supply chain, while CPSM does not. To succeed in the CPSM exams, you need to get yourself truly familiar with the most important information by going through sufficiently focused revision. This is where we fill the gap - you may think of our product as the unofficial supplement to the regular training class, or you may view it as a standalone module with a focus on building up your exam readiness. There are three exams. Exam 1 covers the Supply Management Core knowledge. Exam 2 covers Supply Management Integration. Exam 3 deals with Leadership. Overlapping topics do exist, and we recommend that you take a holistic approach to study - you should treat all 3 exams as a whole, and avoid segmenting the topics too much. The topics are all closely related anyway. This book covers ALL these exams. Be very careful when working on Exam 3. There are overlapping or closely related topics among the exams, so it would be best if you prepare for all of them together.
