The APICS Customer-Focused Supply Chain Management course is designed to provide foundational information about supply chain management to staff who support the supply chain, but are not professionals in the field.

"Effective supply chain management is not the responsibility of an organization's supply chain management professionals alone," said APICS CEO Abe Eshkenazi, CSCP, CPA, CAE. "It is critical that individuals throughout the organization understand how their roles touch the supply chain and how effective, customer-focused supply chain management creates positive bottom-line results."
"Successful organizations understand the need for cross-functional support and involvement in supply chain management to achieve organizational benefits," said lead course developer Richard Godin, CFPIM, CIRM, CSCP. "Our aim with the APICS Customer-Focused Supply Chain Management course is to provide professionals who support the supply chain an understanding of how they impact their organizations' supply chains and how their job function can enhance it."
