Interested in CPIM answer too

I haven't seen it be a differentiation but it can't hurt. I've seen more lean/6-sigma focus.

Not in consulting - in industry, 6 sigma is generally a "Big deal"

In industry, CPIM is a pretty big deal. If you're working with large scale inventory projects, it won't hurt. The CPIM test is changing to 2 exams in August though. Do yourself a favor and do basics now then the 2nd one when it comes out.

C1 thanks! College offered a for credit class that was basically prep for cpim so have all the study materials but great to hear it's getting reduced
