CPIM Study Guide

Pass the CPIM by working through all nine modules of the current exam — not by memorizing a word list. CPIM Study Guide is a focused, fully offline companion for the APICS Certified in Planning and Inventory Management exam. Every item is written against the official ASCM Exam Content Manual version 9.0, effective June 2026 — the nine-module blueprint with the official weights — so you cover the whole exam instead of only the popular topics. SIX WAYS TO STUDY • Flashcards — tap to reveal, tagged by module • Multiple-choice questions, every one with a worked explanation • True/false drills built from the misconceptions that cost marks • Term-matching game — pair key terms in rounds of five • Searchable glossary of the vocabulary the exam assumes you know • Formulas with variables defined and interpretation notes THE NINE MODULES, OFFICIAL WEIGHTS • Align the Supply Chain to Support the Business Strategy — 12% • Conduct Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) to Support Strategy — 10% • Plan and Manage Demand — 12% • Plan and Manage Internal Supply Sources — 12% • Plan and Manage External Supply Sources — 11% • Plan and Manage Inventory — 14% • Plan, Manage, and Execute Detailed Schedules — 12% • Plan and Manage Distribution — 8% • Manage Quality, Continuous Improvement, and Technology — 9% Built for the current exam: version 9.0 replaced the 8.0 exam in June 2026, splitting supply into internal and external sources. If you are sitting the CPIM now, this is the outline you will be tested on — 150 questions in 3.5 hours. THE MATH THE EXAM ACTUALLY USES EOQ, safety stock and service levels, MRP gross-to-net and time-phased logic, master scheduling and available-to-promise, forecast error (MAD, bias, tracking signal), inventory turns and days of supply — each formula with the variables spelled out and a note on where it misleads.
