Institute for Supply Management™ (ISM) continues to lead supply management by developing a new professional qualification that will be relevant internationally and reflect the expanded education, skills and experience needed to be a successful supply management professional. ISM's Board of Directors recently approved the recommendation by the ISM Certification Committee that ISM develop a new professional qualification that recognizes those expanded competencies. 

The CPSM (Certified Professional in Supply Management) is slated to be the profession’s most rigorous qualification, representing the highest degree of professional competencies. Professionals who earn the CPSM will have a greater broad-based understanding of their organization’s supply network, the skills to make better decisions and the knowledge to take advantage of the new global environment.
