Conference in
Denver!
First of all, I hope some of you are taking advantage of
the upcoming premiere event for operations management
professionals, the APICS International Conference in Denver.
It provides 3 days of essential educational opportunities
and takes place October 21-23. The conference offers nearly
90 educational sessions. You can find the session
description and speaker biographies at
www.apicsconference.org.
This months meeting we are honoring our Past Presidents
and Senior managers, I hope you can make it. Next month in
November we have another great meeting with Edward Talerico
on “ERP- Tool for Continuous Improvement in the Aerospace
Industry”. I hope you have located the new wallet type
schedule in the October Newsletter. It is handy to keep
track of the upcoming events. Go Back to School with the
APICS CSCP CSCP courses begin October 27th at
Southwestern’s west campus. It lasts 6 weeks and is good for
3 hours of credit toward your CPIM re-certification points.
It’s no secret the operations management profession is a
rapidly evolving career field shaped by international
competition. In such a competitive environment, it is
critical that company resources are used wisely. In the
APICS career center, there are more than 4,500 registered
employers potentially searching for professionals with
specialized management knowledge. According to
Purchasing.com’s 2006 Salary Survey, the average
compensation of APICS CPIM-certified professionals was 17
percent more that for those who were not certified. Join the
APICS Supply Chain against hunger in fighting hunger in our
country, and around the world.
In closing, I would like to see us support APICS in a
fundraiser, so kindly visit http://www.apicsagainsthunger.org/
for more information. The APICS Supply Chain against hunger
is linking people and resources to build a supply chain of
donations that will put food on the tables of the world’s
neediest families. Whether it’s time, energy, or money, if
every person gives a little, we can help respond to needy
families and hopefully hunger will not be an issue in our
country and in the world. Whether you’re part of a
corporation, the media representative, a citizen of the
world…You can always make a difference. Join the APICS
Supply Chain against hunger in fighting hunger in our
country, and around the world.
