Supply chains have faced significant disruptions in recent years. Now more than ever, supply chain professionals need to become transformational leaders with skills in systems thinking, digital fluency and analytical methods for all types of supply chains.
The new APICS Certified in Transformation for Supply Chain (CTSC) will equip participants with frameworks, strategies, processes, and tools to effectively manage an end-to-end supply chain transformation.
The programme leverages components of globally recognized industry standards, including the ASCM SCOR Digital Standard (DS), Enterprise Standards for Sustainability and the Digital Capabilities Model (DCM) to:
- Identify risks and opportunities, and select the appropriate philosophies, frameworks, models, and approaches to effect transformation
- Apply systems thinking to develop, analyze, verify, and validate concept alternatives for transformation
- Manage skills, roles, responsibilities, and infrastructure needed for successful supply chain transformation
- Identify tools and technologies to enable effective supply chain transformation
- Identify and implement strategies for reinforcing and replicating improvements
Supply chain transformation can help companies to achieve a competitive edge, improve financial performance, and provide better customer service.
It increases collaboration between different departments, suppliers, and partners, leading to better communication and alignment of business objectives throughout your supply chain.
Upon earning the CTSC certification, participants will become certified Transformation Leaders capable of spearheading major supply chain projects from inception to completion. The advantages of this certification are:
1. Value to Company: participants will bring significant value to their organizations by driving efficient supply chain transformations;
2. Competitive Advantage: participants will stand out in the competitive job market with a globally recognized certification that demonstrates their expertise;
3. Personal Development:participants will become genuine Transformation Leaders with in-depth knowledge and practical skills.
The CTSC course curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of supply chain transformation, blending theoretical concepts with practical applications.
We designed 2 CTSC training paths, delivered over 2 months by certified instructors:
• Classroom path: 3 training days + 1 review session Live Webinar
• Live Webinar path: 7 sessions of 3 hours each
Upon request, Advance also offers in-house training programs tailored to organizational needs.
teaching plan
The course includes:
• A classroom or Live Webinar training phase
• An individual study phase with remote instructor support
• Exam simulation with discussion of results. At the end of the course, the candidate can take the final exam in CBT (Computer Based Testing) mode at Pearson Vue test centers, coordinated by ASCM. The exam consists of a multiple-choice questionnaire.
Teaching, learning material and final exam are in English. A good knowledge of English is therefore required.
