There will be a 5-day Certified Purchasing and Supply Chain Manager™ (CPSCM) Certification Program organized by Salvo Global for purchasing and supply chain professionals seeking to advance their careers further which will be held on 25-29 April 2016 in Singapore.

Globalization has caused a change in the dynamics of procurement and supply chain. While cost savings is one of the biggest challenges each organisation face, simply reducing costs is not enough. According to My Purchasing Center’s article, over the past 10 years, procurement professionals are better educated and more experienced. As such, supply chain management plays a strategic role in helping businesses increase profitability; businesses now see the need to elevate the role of procurement.

With this in mind, the exclusive 5-day CPSCM™ Certification Program will help professionals rearchitect how they do purchasing and catapult their purchasing results, career, and income potential. Aside from gaining credentials after their names, delegates will have proven tools that not only demonstrate how the organisation can do better today, but also leverage on research and practice that has been tested with dozens of executive interviews, hundreds of global corporations and with advanced higher education institutions.

Endorsed by Harvard University Supply Chain Management Instructor, Prof. Zal Phiroz, MBA, CPSCM, delegates will have the opportunity to learn from one of the most globally recognized purchasing and supply chain experts. Renowned professionals who have also been certified CPSCM™ include Prof. Zal Phiroz; Tim Shiple, CPSCM, Former Supply Chain Senior Vice President of Google; Mr. Frank Hsiung, CPSCM, Global Chief Purchasing Officer of Foxconn Technology Group; and Mr. Craig Rader, CPSCM, President of California Association of Public Purchasing Officers (CAPPO). Attendees that complete the 5-day certification program successfully will be awarded with the certification as a Certified Purchasing and Supply Chain Manager and shall be entitled to put the credentials of “CPSCM” after their title in their CV, resume, etc.

Professionals recommended – but not limited – to attend the course are Directors, Vice Presidents, MDs, General Managers, Team Leads, Heads and Senior Managers of the following departments: Supply Chain, Procurement, Purchasing, Sourcing, Contracts, Logistics, Supply, Buyer, Category/Materials, and Legal. Since the program will also focus on taking cost out of the equation in the product or service design, engaging teams early to get better purchasing results, and redefining what is being purchased in terms of desired performance results, end user and engineering teams are also recommended to join the program.
