Supply Chain Data Manager (SCDM) Certification
ISO 25500 Supply Chain Data Manager Instructor-led training

Overview

The ISO 25500 Supply Chain Data Manager (SCDM) certification equips professionals with the knowledge and skills to understand and apply supply chain interoperability and integration standards within their organizations to support trusted, automated data exchange between trading partners.

As supply chains become increasingly digital and interconnected, organizations need professionals who understand how to standardize data exchange, verify trading entity identities, and support automated verification processes. The SCDM certification provides the foundation for building more efficient, secure, and interoperable supply chain operations through the industrial internet framework.

The course covers all published parts of the ISO 25500 series including: overview and principles of the industrial internet (25500-1), vocabulary (25500-2), verification of trading entity identity (25500-3), verification of supply chain data (25500-100), verification of certificates (25500-110), verification of data in support of local purchasing (25500-120), and strategic sourcing concepts and data requirements (25500-240).  It incorporates both theoretical instruction and practical applications. Instructor-led training includes interactive discussion, Q&A, scenario-based learning, group case study analysis.

Why ISO 25500 Matters: The ISO 25500 series creates a framework for the ‘industrial internet’ – a trusted global operating environment where trading partners can automatically verify identities, certificates, and supply chain data through callback security and prefix name servers. This enables organizations to meet Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Supplier (KYS), and Know Your Item (KYI) requirements efficiently at scale.

Key Learning Outcomes

On completing this certification, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the principles and architecture of the industrial internet, including callback security and prefix name server (PNS) routing for trusted B2B data exchange

  • Describe the purpose and application of the ISO 25500-1 supply chain data formatting contract clause for standardizing data exchange with trading partners

  • Interpret International Business Identifiers (IBIDs) and International Business Registration Numbers (IBRNs), understanding their structure and role in definitively identifying trading entities per ISO 25500-3

  • Differentiate between the three automated verification request types (VERIFY, RESOLVE, SEARCH) defined in ISO 25500-100 and identify appropriate use cases for each

  • Recognize the data elements required for certificate verification per ISO 25500-110, including certificate authority, recipient, expiration, and certificate description identifiers

  • Explain how ISO 25500-120 supports local purchasing verification, including the role of International Facility Identifiers (IFI) and HS codes in determining product origin

  • Outline the three phases of strategic sourcing (Discovery, Evaluation, Approval) and the specific data requirements for suppliers, materials/services, and locations per ISO 25500-240

  • Articulate the relationship between ISO 25500 supply chain interoperability standards and ISO 8000 data quality standards

  • Assess organizational readiness for SCII implementation and identify potential use cases within procurement, supplier management, and supply chain operations
