Read this page in Arabic: اقرأ بالعربية
The Certified in Planning and Inventory Management (CPIM) credential from ASCM, formerly APICS, is written for the people who keep Egyptian factories and distribution networks running: demand planners, production schedulers, inventory controllers, master schedulers and sales and operations planning analysts. Pharma, FMCG, steel, cables and automotive assembly plants across Greater Cairo and the industrial cities all rely on these skills, and CPIM is the recognised way to prove them.
