CSCP is a good option. Even better, but more involved is to try the APICS CPIM certification which is heavily focused on the Planning aspects of Supply Chain..

Additionally, you can download a great overview White Paper entitled, “End-to-End Supply Chain Planning Framework and Key Concepts”. This White Paper can be found at The Global Supply Chain Institute, University of Tennessee Knoxville.
