2017年CPIM最新变革如下：
1. 从原有的5个模块改为2个模块，2次考试：
模块1：供应链管理核心（BSCM）；考试：150题、3.5h
模块2：（MPR+DSP+ECO+SMR）合并一次考试，每个模块占25%；考试考试：150题、3.5h
2. 2017年3月份推出新的CPIM考试大纲。
3. 2017年8月推出新的CPIM教材和考试，在此之后不再销售BSCM的现行版教材和考试。
4. 2017年8月新的考试推出后，MPR/DSP/ECO/SMR的教材和考试只针对那些已经考过BSCM的学员。
5. 2018年7月全面停止销售MPR/DSP/ECO/SMR的教材和考试， 2018年12月31日为按MPR/DSP/ECO/SMR教材考试的最后截止日期。
6. 针对MPR/DSP/ECO/SMR，新旧考试体系会并行大约一年半的时间以便顺利过渡，直至2018年12月31日。
7. BSCM成绩的有效期还是10年。
8. 已经考过BSCM和另外至少一个模块的学员，现行的考试模块会更经济；但必须重新学习所考考过的内容来参加新考试。

A Conversation with Bob Collins, CFPIM, CIRM, CSCP; Sr. Director of Professional
Development, APICS
Hey! I hear APICS is changing their CPIM program. What is that all about?
At the APICS annual conference, in Washington, D.C., in September, APICS CEO, Abe Eshkenazi, announced that the iconic Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) certification will be reconfigured in 2017.
APICS will be reducing the required number of exams from five to two exams. This proposed change was recommended by a volunteer Task Force, and approved by the APICS Board of Directors in July.
Now that the decision has been made, what you really want to know is: how does this affect ME and MY CPIM certification preparation?
Questions about How I Should Proceed with My CPIM
I haven’t started, but I really need to earn my CPIM within the next 12 to 18 months. What should I do?
Start now. The reconfiguration won’t be complete until Q3, 2017, and the scoring will take longer, which would delay your certification progress and the earning of your CPIM even longer.
In addition, APICS will continue to support you. We will stop selling the Basics exam and Participant Workbook upon the release of the new Basics exam and the new Basics Learning System, but the other exams and Workbooks (MPR, DSP, ECO & SMR) will be available for at least a year for anyone still in progress, so you will be able to finish what you started.
I have prepared for, or am about to prepare for, the APICS Basics of Supply Chain (“Basics”) exam. Should I wait?
No. Keep going. The new enhanced Basics courseware and exam will be more expensive than the current Basics courseware and exam (no final decisions on price yet). The exam will be longer (3 ½ hours, 150 questions), so completing Basics now, before the reconfiguration, is to your advantage (less expensive, shorter exam). Passing the Basics exam now will still count toward the CPIM after the reconfiguration; it will be valid for up to 10 years.
I’ve only taken the Basics exam, but none of the others. Should I wait for the new “combo” exam?
Personally, waiting appeals to the procrastinator in me, but if you stop now, the chances of your finishing the certification will be reduced by every month that you wait. You’ve finished the first exam and have momentum. Take advantage of it.
It is tempting to think that the new “combo” exam will be easier. It certainly should be quicker (when it is available), but I wouldn’t guarantee that it will be easier. First, the topics and terms in the Exam Content Manual (ECM) have not changed. All of the topics and terms currently found in the four individual ECMs will still be in the new ECM. The new combo exam will cover the original four modules (MPR, DSP, ECO & SMR) equally, each of the original modules will be covered by 25% of the exam questions.
I’ve taken two or more exams. Should I wait for the new exams to complete the program?
No, keep going; finish what you started. By waiting for the reconfigured exam, you will spend additional money, additional time and additional preparation on part(s) of the new exam that you've already passed in the current format.
Will APICS chapters and international partners still offer classes for the current five modules?
Many of them will, especially if they know that they have demand from those already in the process of earning their CPIM. For most APICS partners, it will be business as usual for the next couple of years.
I’m already CPIM. What does this mean for me?
You will remain a CPIM, as long as you continue to apply for Certification Maintenance every five years.
There is no substantive change to the program, just a reconfiguration of the structure. After the reconfiguration, new CPIMs will have had to validate the same body of knowledge that you had to validate with your five (or more) exams.
This is not the first time CPIM has restructured to better meet the needs of the profession. Over the decades CPIM has jumped from four exams to five to six to seven, back to six exams. Then, in 2000, the current five exam configuration was rolled out. That change was even more of a major transformation because we not only changed the number of exams, but changed their focus from: Inventory Management, JIT, Capacity Planning, etc. to the current process oriented exams, which follow the planning hierarchy from business planning to the shop floor. Read our CPIM reconfiguration FAQs for answers to additional questions regarding the program change.
Can I still do this? Yes, you can do this!
Think about why you’re interested in the CPIM program to begin with. Do you need it to help you find a new job, to keep the one you have, to change careers or to better serve your company and its customers by improving and validating your skills as a professional? Does your company want you to wait, or to take the steps to gain and use the skills you need to improve the company’s bottom line now?
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes” then I urge you to move ahead with your CPIM designation today.
