Fundamentals of Materials and Operations Management
apics
The Fundamentals of Materials and Operations Management program offers an exciting classroom-based, instructor-led educational opportunity for people new to materials and management operations-or people working in positions that interact with this field. Participants gain practical, essential skills that help them become more effective and productive in their jobs. The four-module format of the course teaches basic concepts, techniques, and terminology. Unlike the CPIM Certification Preparation Workshops, this program does not assume a thorough knowledge base in Resource Management. This program is designed to teach the fundamental knowledge to individuals new to the field and to those who should better understand the field (engineering, product managers, marketing, etc.)

For professionals aspiring to APICS certification, Fundamentals establishes a solid entry-level base of knowledge upon which to build. The information below will enable you to view each of the four modules of Fundamentals based on your area of interest.

  • Fundamentals of Inventory Control introduces participants to essential vocabulary and skills identifying and applying the basic principles of inventory management.
  • Fundamentals of Planning teaches participants the principles of effective planning.
  • Fundamentals of Manufacturing Control details priority and capacity management through the use of material requirements planning.
  • Fundamentals of Operations Management maps out the relationship between goods and services and the operation of the systems.
