Anybody certified in CSCP, CPIM, CLTD, Lean 6S, or other certifications? How difficult was it to obtain? Was it worth it?

I have all the three carts from APICS. Not difficult if you work in supply chain/ logistics field. I do not think the certain add more value than experience.

i am doing the CSCP, and it reminds me of my classes during my bachelor...

high level concepts, questions are tricky and very detailed, you need to understand the concepts but also remember all the lil details...

Have a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Only useful if you're working on it full time. I did a couple of projects, and then haven't been in that field for a while now. But apparently, doesn't carry a lot of weight in the industry (just my personal opinion)
