The Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM) announced May 2 it would be launching its new Supply Chain Technology Certificate. The certificate provides information to members of the supply chain space that are looking to gain an understanding of emerging technologies, how they lead to organizational improvement and how they affect supply chain performances.

Those that participate in the certificate program will be taught how supply chain technology increases reliability, provides insights into supplier lead times and customer demands, boosts the flexibility of production processes and streamlines operational performance.

The certificate program features 20 hours of self-paced e-Learning educational content that has been broken down into six courses, as well as a final exam. Those that pass the exam will earn their Supply Chain Technology Certificate and a digital badge. Additionally, program participants will be able to earn up to 20 maintenance points toward their ASCM certification.
