CPIM begins at the top: the operating strategy that aligns the supply chain with corporate goals. You learn how competitive priorities — cost, quality, delivery, flexibility and innovation — shape decisions about capacity, sourcing and process design. Strategy is the lens that makes every later planning decision coherent.

You will map order qualifiers and order winners, position the customer order decoupling point (make-to-stock, make-to-order, engineer-to-order) and connect functional plans to one integrated business plan. Sustainability and risk now sit explicitly inside the 2024 scope.

Key idea — Structure follows strategy: the decoupling point you choose dictates how much you forecast versus how much you build to actual demand.
