Professional Designation in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (PLS)

Due to an overwhelming request for an entry level industry certification, the American Society of Transportation and Logistics (ASTL) now offers the Professional Designation in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (PLS) to professionals seeking an understanding of the key strategies for improving customer service and increasing the efficiency of their logistics and supply chain operations. The purpose of the PLS is to recognize individuals that have completed a course of study examining the strategies for improving logistics and supply chain operations and are seeking to apply this knowledge within their profession. This designation is granted to ASTL members who have successfully passed the comprehensive examination.

The PLS fee is $350.00 which includes a study guide. The examination consists of multiple choice questions selected from material contained in the following textbook as well as selected outside readings:

 

Christopher, Martin, Logistics and Supply Chain Management: Creating Value-adding Networks, 3rd Edition, London, UK: Pitman Publishing. ISBN 0-273-68176-1.

Selected readings: CSCMP definition of logistics, SCOR Overview, and a limited number of readings available on the Internet such as www.ascet.com.

The PLS designation requires recertification every five years. Requirements for re-certification include attending an industry-related conference, industry-related education program or completing a module in the ASTL CTL Certification Program.
