Tbh, certs help you initially, early in career or if you are changing profiles/industries. Your resume speaks to your skills and experience better than having a “cert”
I think your question was understood; the short answer - in the longer run, they neither necessarily help, nor are they particularly desired
Certs are all about the HR team reviewing a resume or a number for sales to sell a potential client as a vanity metric to make it seem like they can deliver good work. Get it early on to understand the basics and then actually do the relevant work

If you’re in supply chain sure, but no I wouldn’t put much weight on it. Good to think about in terms of process optimization but I wouldn’t dump a bunch of money in to it.
Certs have massive diminishing returns after about 5 YOE; one could argue they can actually have negative returns at certain stages.
Sorry for the typo, it meant to ask do the certifications help or are they desired.
Hi OP, yes they have specific strategic value, but they are not overall resume/profile boosters. If you have a target in mind I would do it, but otherwise don’t waste the time and money.
A couple years ago I was working at one of the top giant pharma companies and became interested in moving out of the lab eventually. I paid out of pocket for classes and coaching for a six sigma certification. Zero people in my department cared about this, but I was able to leverage the certification and got onto a massive international shipping redesign and optimization project that company was doing. Fast forward a bit and I’m at McKinsey as a consultant. Getting that first certification opened specific doors I needed, but other than that it had fairly limited value to me.
Btw, nobody in my Deloitte, BCG, or McKinsey interviews ever asked about the certification (it was on my resume). They just wanted to know about my work experiences.
I just left a Fortune 10. Six Sigma was the lowest on the food chain. Better to do Scrum Master or Scaled Agile which most tech teams use nowadays.
