SPSM Certification vs CPIM Certification

I receive questions once in a while asking about the difference between the SPSM Certification and the CPIM certification.

The comparison is actually pretty simple.

The SPSM stands for "Senior Professional in Supply Management" and it is awarded by Next Level Purchasing. So it is an appropriate certification for individuals in the field of purchasing and supply management: purchasing managers, buyers, procurement specialists, supply chain managers, contracting agents, sourcing representatives, etc.

The CPIM stands for "Certified in Production and Inventory Management" and it is awarded by the American Production and Inventory Control Society. So it is an appropriate certification for individuals in the field of production and inventory management: production schedulers, inventory analysts, etc.

These are two very different certifications for two different types of jobs.

Still not sure what certification is right for you? Contact us with your job title, job duties, and professional goals and we'll help you.
