CDDL EXAM
PREPARATION COURSE
The Certified Demand Driven
Leader Certification
Internationally accredited by the IISB, the CDDL certifies and validates knowledge on the ability to design, implement and sustain a Demand Driven supply chain. The CDDL Certification spans Planning, Operations, Distribution and Finance
How Does the CDDL
Compare to the CDDP?
There is some overlap between the programs. The material in the DDMRP and DDDRP sections of the CDDL is redundant on the CDDP Program material. The CDDP goes into much greater depths on these topics. That material, however, will constitute only about 15% of the total CDDL.
