Supply Chain Monthly

Later this month, the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) and Supply Chain Quarterly will be releasing their first salary survey for supply chain management professionals.  

 

This collaborative survey will focus on collecting data to analyze the current state of salaries and overall compensation for professionals working in supply chain.  

 

Watch your inboxes for the survey release, and thank you in advance for participating. 

 

Women make up 40% of the workforce in supply chain management, contributing unique skills, experiences, and ideas that can enhance a company’s strategy and insights. While women throughout their careers face a number of challenges, this panel is predominantly comprised of young females in the early years of their careers. Passionate about advocating for and empowering women in supply chain, they will engage in a discussion about how to provide stronger and more confident communities for women in supply chain and, ultimately, fostering better working environments with more diverse organizational leadership. 

 

Register for this webinar and prepare to engage in a discussion on how to provide stronger and more confident communities for women in supply chain.

Supply chain certifications can raise an employee's standing at work and lead to a salary increase. Just as the business world evolves, associations offering supply chain certifications continually revamp them to include relevant content and update learning systems and testing methods to match candidate needs.
 
The top three supply chain associations, the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) and the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM), made significant changes in their certification programs in the last few years, with more scheduled for 2020.
 
"Every rigorous certification program goes through an update every three to five years," Nichole Mumford, vice president of marketing, engagement and education at CSCMP, told Supply Chain Dive. "Given the big changes in technology, the expansion of global enterprise, changes in the last decade are no surprise."
