CDDP certification programs is an internationally recognized industry certificate. It improves processes and skills for supply chain managers and planning practitioners. The CDDP is an ideal certificate for supply chain managers/practitioners wanting to revisit material and inventory planning methodologies to better address market requirements and improve execution response.
In a short period the CDDP program has the support of the International Supply Chain Education Alliance (ISCEA) and is internationally accredited by the IISB. Its growing recognition (listed amongst just 10 planning certificates assessed by Gartner in their Market Guide for Supply Chain Planning Certification Programs - December 2014) attests to the value of the demand-driven methodology taught in the program.
The program is for students / professionals wanting to fill an operational knowledge gap, or for practitioners wanting to demonstrate competencies against a global standard. The CDDP was developed recently (2011) by Carol Ptak and Chad Smith of the Demand Driven Institute for the purposes of teaching and clarifying the demand driven planning methodologies that are expounded in the third edition of Orlicky’s Material Requirements Planning . Next Edition of the book will be released this month in US at www.sctechshow.com/ organised by ISCEA and SCNext in Chicago, USA this month.
Specifically, the certification provides extensive learning around demand driven material requirements planning and inventory management, with some less extensive coverage of Capacity Planning, Master Scheduling and S&OP. Given the narrower content and focus of the CDDP program, it is shorter in duration A two day instruction program, together with reading and self-study study will prepare students to take the single online examination. Preparation time is obviously dependent on hours committed and experience levels of industry professionals / students.
