Hello everyone,

I’m excited to join the community and start my journey toward the CSCP certification.

I’m a procurement and supply chain professional from Brazil, currently working in the retail industry and involved in product launches and innovation projects, particularly in FMCG and finished goods. My experience includes strategic sourcing, cost control, supplier negotiations, and evaluating project feasibility with a strong focus on business impact and cash flow. I have a systemic view of supply chain processes and enjoy working across functions to support efficient and sustainable operations.

I recently started the CSCP Learning System and I’m looking forward to learning from this community, exchanging insights, and connecting with professionals from different parts of the world. Any tips, study recommendations, or advice from those who have already completed the CSCP journey would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Best regards,

Hello,

My name is John Reaux, and I am a doctoral student at Central Michigan University working with Dr. Steven Berkshire, Emeritus Professor of Health Administration, as Principal Investigator.

I am recruiting participants for a research study comparing hospital supply chain practices across rural and metropolitan acute-care hospitals in Illinois. The purpose of the study is to better understand how hospital supply chain functions are organized and executed across settings and to identify practical patterns that may inform improvement.

I am seeking supply chain, materials management, procurement, or related hospital leaders who may be willing to participate in one semi-structured interview conducted remotely via WebEx. With permission, the interview will be audio-recorded for accuracy. Participation is voluntary, the interview will take approximately 45–60 minutes, and participants may skip any question or stop at any time.

If you are interested, please reply to this post or contact me directly at reaux1jf@cmich.edu. If you are not the best contact, I would appreciate it if you could share this opportunity with the appropriate hospital supply chain leader.

Thank you for your consideration.

Good afternoon, I just became a member to the site. Can anyone help me navigate the waters? I have been out of a job for 7 months with no real leads. I worked in railroad logistics and supply chain management for 10 years. Prior to that I worked in the railroad real estate department for 7 years with a primary focus on contract negotiation and compliance. I have a double bachelor's degree in business administration/management & marketing.

I am hoping to find new leads in the Jacksonville, FL area as well as broaden my knowledge and marketability with proven certifications that work in today's ever-changing markets. Thank you for your time!

Hi everyone,

I'm finishing my MBA in Supply Chain & Operations at Indiana University while transitioning from 4+ years as a Marine Corps Logistics Officer to civilian supply chain analyst/coordinator roles. Despite managing logistics operations for 900+ personnel and completing supply chain coursework, I'm struggling to get past ATS screening for entry-level positions because my military experience hasn't translated well on paper to civilian recruiters, and my prior education was in nutrition (MS, RD).

For those who've made similar transitions or hired veterans into supply chain roles: what certifications (CSCP vs. CPIM) and positioning strategies helped most? Happy to connect individually if anyone's willing to share lessons learned.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.
