Introduction 简介
This certification program will test for an understanding of contemporary supply chain and logistics management. The increasing integration of all functions of the firm requires that supply chain and logistics managers must be aware of the impact that logistical decision-making has on other elements of the firm's strategic goals and objectives. In addition, the current supply chain and logistics manager must have an awareness of the changes in and increased use of technology, emphasis on strategic planning, and supply chain integration as a competitive imperative. 该认证项目将考察对当代供应链管理和物流管理的理解。由于公司内各项职能向综合方向发展，供应链经理和物流经理都必须看到物流决策会影响公司其他战略目的和目标。此外，作为当代的供应链经理和物流经理，要想在竞争中取得优势地位，必须能够意识到技术的变更，看到技术已经得到更广泛的应用，必须强调战略计划，重视供应链整合。

This includes the areas pertaining to the delivery of customer value, including the management of transportation, inventory flows, purchasing (both domestic and international), supply management, and warehouse management. The candidate must also have a firm grasp on the impact of decisions that have been made regarding each of these functions, on the total cost and operating effectiveness of the whole logistics system., 学员须理解构成供应链 / 物流职能的基本要素。包括与客户价值交付有关的领域：运输管理，库存流动，采购（国内采购和国际采购），供应管理，和仓储管理。而且，学员还必须扎实地掌握，这些职能的每个方面做出的决策都会对总成本和整个物流系统的运作效率造成影响。
Candidates must be able to view a broader managerial perspective of the importance of network design, the financial impact of logistical decision making, and the relationship development and management needed for effective 3rd party logistics partnerships. 学员必须能够从管理层这个更广泛地角度来看待网络设计的重要性，看待物流决策对公司财务的影响，看待与效率高的第三方物流伙伴建立关系和管理关系。

The candidate must be aware of the implications for improving logistical operations, intra, and inter-firm coordination, and increasing customer value afforded by the use of appropriately designed and integrated information systems. 要想使得公司成功地运作，就必须使用技术信息系统，因为使用技术信息系统可以为公司和供应链范围的整合及合作提供坚实的基础。学员必须了解，由于恰当地使用了设计好、整合过的信息系统，物流运作改进，公司内和公司间协作加强，客户价值日益提高。
The relationship of firm-level logistics with the broader perspective of the supply chain must be understood. It is important that the candidate have a broader perspective than that of the firm.

Candidates must profess knowledge and manifest skills and abilities in design and management of the firm's inbound (materials management) and outbound (distribution) flow of physical goods and related information. Often studied and managed as two distinct components, the trend is now to take advantage of trade-offs and other economies that are available in the individual legs of materials management and distribution. True efficiencies and corporate strategic advantages are not gained until both are fully integrated into one single logistics system. 学员必须具备公司进货物流（物料管理）和出货物流（配送）的设计和管理方面的知识，技能和能力，包括有形商品和相关信息的流动。过去这两部分常常分别进行研究和管理，而现在的趋势则是充分利用权衡方法及在物料管理和配送中获得的其他方法。只有把物料管理和配送整合入一个物流系统中，公司才能获得真正的效率，发挥其战略优势。

Since the field continues to evolve through organizational change, adoption of greater responsibilities, and application of new concepts, the candidate should generally be prepared for many questions which call for the development of proposals and supporting arguments dealing with such changes. A truly effective logistics manager not only knows what changes need to be implemented, but also is persuasive in gaining top management approval of such changes. 学员须具备物流管理和深入计划任务方面的知识，技能和能力。学员需要综合地看待物流。伴随着组织变更，接受更重大的责任，及新技术的应用，这个领域不断发展变化，要求学员为许多的问题做好准备，包括提出处理变更的建议以及支持性观点。一个真正有效的物流经理不仅知道需要实施哪些变更，而且能够说服高层管理者批准这些变更。
Candidates must have an understanding of transportation economics, which is fundamental to sound transportation management decision-making by both users and providers. They must possess knowledge, skill, and ability in three primary areas of emphasis: (1) application of demand, cost, and pricing principles to transportation; (2) the operating, service and financial characteristics of the various modes and types of transportation; and (3) managerial issues in transportation. 学员必须理解运输经济学，因为它是用户和供应商做出一个合理的运输管理决策的基础。对于以下三个重点强调的领域，学员必须具备相关知识，技能和能力（ 1 ）把需求 ，成本和定价原则应用到运输中（ 2 ）各种运输模型和类型的运作，服务及财务特征，以及（ 3 ）运输中的管理。
