CPIM
Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) was introduced
in 1973. CPIM established its reputation as the international
standard for specialized, in-depth production and inventory management
education. Certification confirms the candidate's understanding
of the design, operation, and control of systems for the manufacturing
and distribution of products and services. The curriculum is divided
into five interrelated modules.
Candidates earn the CPIM designation after successfully completing
five exams. Review classes offered are intended to augment your
preparation for these exams. These courses should interest professionals
working in the fields of manufacturing management, materials management,
purchasing, production scheduling, industrial engineering, and
supply chain management.
CIRM
Certified in Integrated Resource Management (CIRM) was introduced
in 1991. The program is designed to develop each candidate's understanding
of multiple business functions and how they interact in an organization.
The CIRM series especially benefits upper management who have
risen through the organization in a single discipline. It facilitates
understanding the interrelationships of functions in a modern
business environment.
Accounting professionals, consultants, project managers, team
leaders, aspiring managers, operations staff members, and other
professionals seeking to advance toward a decision-making position
will benefit from the CIRM program. CIRM will give you a clear
understanding of cross-functional operations and how to integrate
resources within an organization.
Designed to provide a comprehensive review for each of the CIRM
exams, the five curriculum class modules address thirteen subject
areas. The use of case studies further enhances the course material.
To achieve the CIRM status, five independently administered exams
must be passed concluding with Integrated Enterprise Management
(IEM).
It is recommended the ECF Exam be taken first, the other three
CIRM exams may be taken in any order. The IEM exam must be taken
last. For a comprehensive guide to exam preparation, order the
