CPIM or Diploma of Business Operations Management

The APICS body of knowledge has been the standard of excellence in supply chain management for many years and is available to study in two formats with apics SA.

Certified in Production & Inventory Management (CPIM) and Diploma of Business Operations Management teach students critical skills in design, operations and control systems for the manufacture and distribution of products and services. Both course options are ideal for those who wish to support their experience with a recognised qualification, whether it be the APICS industry certificate or the Australian Diploma option for completing the course.
