President's Message

 

March 2010

 

 

Please join us for our next Professional Development Meeting (PDM) on Tuesday March 9, 2010, where we will present the award winning documentary entitled:

 

MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES

 

The film follows Internationally acclaimed photographer Edward Burtynsky whose large-scale photographs of manufactured landscapes quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines and dams create stunningly beautiful art from civilization s materials and debris. The film follows him through China, as he shoots the evidence and effects of that country s massive industrial revolution. Burtynsky’s photographs allow us to meditate on our impact on the planet and witness both the epicenters of industrial endeavor and the dumping grounds of its waste.

As you are aware, today’s economic climate is a major cause for concern for everyone, people and businesses alike. Times like this emphasize even more the value of membership in professional societies such as APICS. Networking and professional development are two proactive steps we can take to keep ourselves marketable in a changing environment. APICS offers the CPIM (Certified in Production & Inventory Management) and CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Professional) professional certifications as well as the new Lean Enterprise Workshop.

 

I would like to draw your attention to another benefit of APICS Membership – the APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge Framework (OMBOK). The Operations Management Body of Knowledge Framework (OMBOK) defines the scope of the operations management field and positions APICS' vast body of knowledge to help you understand the foundation of your profession. As an APICS member, you receive a complimentary electronic copy of the OMBOK—an exclusive resource to help you succeed in your profession. To download your copy, log in at www.apics.org. (Note: Your username is your APICS member ID and your password is APICS08. To obtain your APICS member ID number, please contact APICS Customer Support at (800) 444-2742 or (773) 867-1777, or e-mail service@apics.org.)
