 About the
New CPIM Program
Reconfiguration of Exam Objectives

 The CPIM Part 1 exam (previously known as the Basics of

Supply Chain Management) will remain as a standalone exam
expanded to 150 questions and 3 ½ hours to introduce new
technology-enhanced item types.
 The CPIM Part 2 exam will cover the content contained in
MPR, DSP, ECO and SMR (weighing 25% each) through a
sampling process that we currently use for existing exams and
be expanded to 150 questions and 3 ½ hours.
 The CPIM body of knowledge would be minimally impacted and
candidates will still be required to master the same knowledge,
skills and abilities as in the current CPIM Certification.
