Developing and improving supply chain management skills by creating opportunities for communication and dialogue among those in the profession 2. Conducting research that adds to the knowledge base of supply chain theory and practice 3.

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.
