CSCMP Mission & Goals

To lead the evolving supply chain management profession by developing, advancing, and disseminating supply chain knowledge and research.


CSCMP Vision

The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals is the preeminent worldwide professional association of supply chain management professionals. CSCMP exists to:


  • Provide opportunities for supply chain professionals to communicate in order to develop and improve their supply chain management skills
  • Identify and conduct research which adds to the knowledge base of supply chain theory and practice
  • Create awareness of the significance of supply chain to business and to the economy



CSCMP is not:

  • A trade association, social organization, or high-density market, so we do not condone suppliers who use the organization to promote their services
  • Aligned with shippers, carriers, warehouse operators, material handling equipment manufacturers, consultants, or any other similar industrial grouping
  • An organization that engages in matters where various members have contrary interests
  • An organization that endorses, sanctions, or discourages supply chain-related legislation, products, or services
