I would say Certified Supply Chain Certification (CSCP) .

like

There are many that I could list but how about: Certificate in Planning and Inventory Management (CPIM)

You could also get a: Certificate in Logistics, Transportation, and Distribution (CLTD):

The other certificates could be: Certified Professional Logistician (CPL), and/or CPSM Certification for Supply Management, Certified Professional Contract Manager (CPCM)

I'd say Certified in Logistics, Transportation, and Distribution (CLTD). Certified in Production and Inventory is another great option.
