Description

This newly revised 4-part interactive course outlines the roles, responsibilities and relationship between Supply Chain and Finance. Learners will complete activities and answer questions in the self-directed course as they examine how Financing affects budgeting and how Supply Chain Management affects the organization’s revenue cycle and supports other departments in the organization. In addition, learners will consider key components of asset management and cost savings programs as well as institutional and governmental rules, regulations and standards as they relate to Finance.

AHRMM recommends that review for the Certified Materials & Resource Professional (CMRP) examination focus on references and programs that cover information included in the CMRP examination content outline. Preparation through this course does not guarantee a passing score on the CMRP certification exam. This course is just one of the many ways in which a candidate can prepare for the exam, and it is strongly suggested that the candidate review several resources.

This course may be purchased at a reduced cost as part of the CMRP Bundle of courses that include Finance, Procurement and Product Value Analysis, Inventory and Distribution Management, Information Systems and Data Management, and Strategic Planning, Leadership, and Compliance.
