APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional” LEARNING SYSTEM module Version 2.1, 2010 Edition Preparing for the Certification Exam Studying the APICS CSCP Learning System combined with on-the-job knowledge, professional experience, and other APICS learning tools, such as the APICS Dictionary, is the most effective way to prepare for the APICS CSCP certification examination. The APICS CSCP Learning System is intended to cover the body of knowledge tested by the APICS CSCP certification examination; however, the APICS CSCP Learning System does not “teach the test.” The Learning System focuses on acquiring knowledge, whereas the exam tests the candidate’s ability to apply that knowledge in accordance with accepted industry standards. Content on the exam is based on real-world scenarios and requires candidates to apply the concepts in the APICS CSCP Learning System. While both the APICS CSCP Leaming System and the APICS CSCP certification examination are based on the APICS CSCP Exam Content Manual (which is available for a free download at www.LearnCSCP.com > Information Center > Certification Exam Resources), they are developed independently of one another. To preserve exam integrity, specific exam questions and their breadth are not shared with the APICS CSCP Learning System developers.

There have been supply chains as long as there have been suppliers and customers, but the evolving discipline of managing those chains for competitive advantage belongs to recent decades, Even the term “supply chain” came into ‘common usage only toward the end of the 20th century. As with many other phenomena occurring in that period of time, supply chains and their management reflect the revolution in electronic communication and the shrinking of the world into one global community—what author Tom Friedman calls the flattening of the globe. There were supply chains when primitive hunters brought back skins for transformation into garments for use or trade, Marco Polo went east in search of trade routes to bring raw materials from “the Orient” to Europe. But the scope, scale, and speed of supply chain processes have all gathered revolutionary momentum —and businesses around the world hasten to catch up or, in the case of leaders like Toyota, Wal-Mart, and Zara, to stay ahead, Their opportunities result from the flattening of the global playing field and advances in technology; their discoveries contribute to globalization and revolutionary technology. Supply chain management may be a young discipline, but like those other young disciplines, rocket science and brain surgery, it isn’t a simple one. It also resembles other youngsters in its rapid rate of development. Staying abreast of the theoretical and practical aspects of supply chain management —even keeping up with the voeabulary—requires constant attention. This first module in the APICS CSCP Learning System, Supply Chain Management Fundamentals, provides basic information that forms a foundation. both for the following modules in the course and for the continuous learning you will do later to stay current with new developments © Section A introduces essential concepts and vocabulary, including definitions and illustrations of the terms “supply chain” and “supply chain management.” It also traces the continuing evolution of supply chain ‘management, identifies business processes that are specific to supply chains, and deseribes ways in which supply chain management can create value for customers and investors. * Section B explores supply chain strategies, including their alignment with corporate strategy, how to change strategy when conditions require change, and how to manage risk 1 Version 2.1, 2010 Edition Module 1: Supply Chain Management Fundamentals ‘+ Section C explains the principles of supply chain management, from the setting of supply chain objectives through decision making, management of human resources, risk management, metrics, and financial performance. ‘* Section D explores the methods of assessing, measuring, and improving supply chain performance. © 2010 aPICs All rights reserve. 12 Version 2.1, 2010 Edition Section A: Overview of Supply Chain Management ‘This section is designed to Define and illustrate the supply chain as a concept Define supply chain management as a concept and provide examples Describe the evolution of supply chain management globally and within companies Identify and describe key supply chain processes Identify specific ways in which supply chain management creates value for customers and investors (customer value and financial value) Define globalization and illustrate its impact on supply chain management, 0 + Identifying Supply Chains Basic supply According to the APICS Dictionary, 12th edition, a supply chain is a “global chain © 2010 aPIcs network used to deliver products and services from raw materials to end customers through an engineered flow of information, physical distribution, and cash.” A supply chain, in this view, comprises a network of both entities and processes (the engineered flow). A supply chain doesn't have to be global, but the massive chains that interest us in this course—the ones that run through corporations such as Wal-Mart, Mitsubishi, Dell, and the clothing chain Zara— are decidedly global in scope. Exhibit 1-1 illustrates a very basic supply chain (one that isn’t necessarily global) with three entities—a producer with one supplier and one customer.
