CSCMP’s Supply Chain Management Process Standards

Until the first edition of the six Supply Chain Management Standards booklets were published in 2004, there was no comprehensive reference guide for logistics and supply chain processes. If you have used the Standards, you know the importance of improving the bottom line. There is a growing need for companies to determine which processes and attributes are essential to their industries and competitive strategies. Supply chain professionals must focus their energies on achieving best-practice goals in these areas, while maintaining minimum standards in all other applicable areas.

CSCMP’s Supply Chain Management Process Standards book and tools are available for sale in CSCMP’s Bookstore.
