The cooperation between PMI Production Management Institute GmbH and Bundesvereinigung Logistik (BVL) e.V. for the qualification of supply chain managers, which was successfully launched at transport logistic 2019, is being expanded.
Ensuring functioning supply chains is currently a major challenge for companies. Therefore, trained and APICS-certified "Certified Supply Chain Professionals (CSCP)" are in international demand. Over a period of 5 years, the more than 125,000 certified persons must achieve at least 75 continuing education points (maintenance points) in order to prove that their qualifications are up-to-date and to continue to be APICS-certified. With the expanded range of further training opportunities, supply chain managers can now acquire these maintenance points at BVL. In an intensive exchange, Stefan Hoogervorst, Director of Education and Research at PMI Production Management Institute GmbH, and Kirsten Steinfurth, seminar manager at Bundesvereinigung Logistik (BVL) e.V., identified more than 20 seminars for qualification and accredited them for the maintenance points of APICS to let.
With BVL as the selected training provider, seminars on supply chain, lean logistics, transport, project management and controlling, among other things, can be booked from September 1, 2022 and proof of further training can be submitted to PMI Production Management Institute GmbH. The certificate obtained from the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM) - the world's largest non-profit association for supply chain management - remains valid after 5 years.
In the following overview you will find a list of creditable BVL seminars.
