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
