The partnership between APICS – the prestigious US Association for Operations Management – and IOM provides increased availability of education, certification and membership programs for professional personnel in operations and supply chain management throughout Great Britain.
The partnership makes two key, internationally recognized certification programs available in Great Britain: the Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) is a program designed to test candidates’ in-depth knowledge of a variety of subjects specific to production and inventory management, while the Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) program extends beyond internal operations to encompass all steps throughout the supply chain. APICS certification can be undertaken via distance learning or through instructor-led programs, according to your preferred learning style.
The Institute of Operations Management (IOM) has been in existence since 1963, originally as two chapters of the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS), and then from 1975 as an independent organisation called the British Production and Inventory Control Society (BPICS). It changed its name to the Institute of Operations Management in 1996. In 2007 the IOM joined with The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK (CILT) and continues to operate separately as a membership body within the CILT. In 2009 IOM became the International Associate for APICS in Great Britain.
The Institute has in excess of 30 years experience in the provision of education and training in all its forms in the manufacturing and service industries. The Institute maintains close links with UK government through the Department of Trade and Industry and the Department for Education and Employment, which recognises the Institute's qualifications.
