modules or certification exams. The New Bedford Chapter #1
of APICS is pleased to report that will conduct the entry
module - Basics of Supply Chain Management (BSCM) during
the fall of 2011.
If you or another supply chain professional within your
organization are interested in the Basics of Supply Chain
Management or another APICS CPIM module, please contact me

Did you know that you can earn up to 30 points toward
your APICS certification maintenance by attending just one
CPIM review course?
After completing your APICS CPIM and/or CSCP program, you
are required to participate in the Certification Maintenance
program to demonstrate ongoing knowledge in your field and
commitment to lifelong learning. Every five years following
your initial certification date, you must maintain your status
by accumulating 75 points based on your involvement in the
following four activity categories:
- Continuing education
- Presentations, publications, and educational development
- Service to the operations management profession
- Professional membership
If you fail to earn the required points and submit your
maintenance application within the five-year period, your
certification status will expire and you will no longer be
able to use the CPIM or CSCP designation.
Participating in an APICS certification review course is a
great way to stay abreast of current trends, increase your
knowledge, and improve your skills. You can also earn 24 to 30
certification maintenance points by attending a course.
