The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP)
CSCMP is the preeminent association for individuals involved in supply chain management. CSCMP provides educational, career development, and networking opportunities to its over 9,000 members and to the entire profession.
CSCMP was originally founded as the National Council of Physical Distribution Management (NCPDM) in January 1963, formed by a visionary group of educators, consultants, and managers who envisioned the integration of transportation, warehousing, and inventory as the future of the discipline. In 1985, recognizing the growing field of logistics, the association's focus broadened as it changed its name to the Council of Logistics Management (CLM), until 2004 when CLM's Executive Committee voted to become CSCMP, effective in 2005.
