APICS
integrated resource management education lives up to its name!
Certified in Integrated Resource Management (CIRM) education
integrates your understanding of organizational resources such as
information technology, materials, human resources, production and
supporting equipment, facilities, and capital to meet the goals of
your organization. In other words, you will gain an understanding of
all the functions within your company, giving you a competitive edge!
The
success of any business in the 21st century will
increasingly depend on its ability to adapt to rapidly changing
conditions—taking swift action to maximize the opportunities
presented. CIRM is a comprehensive program designed to develop
managerial and leadership skills. With CIRM education, you will
develop your fullest potential and solve a wide range of business
problems across the enterprise—spurring future innovation and
discovery for you and your organization.
In March 2005, APICS announced the creation of
the Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) designation to meet rapidly
changing educational needs in the field of supply chain management. This new
program is designed for professionals interested in increasing their
knowledge of supply chain management, those currently working in the field
of supply chain management, and for those individuals working with
enterprise resources planning (ERP) systems.
With the addition of
the CSCP designation, APICS enhances its validation of the disciplines
within operations management, specifically production, inventory,
enterprise, and supply chain management. Examine methods for authorizing build and
move of material.

The
new APICS Fundamentals of Materials and Operations Management
courses are now available. The
Fundamentals 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 teaches basic concepts, techniques, and terminology.
The Introduction to
Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) course will help you determine if
your organization is ready for an ERP implementation, examine the
benefits of implementing an ERP system, and build a compelling
business case in support of an ERP implementation. Introduction to ERP
provides a foundation for understanding the process integration of
business-wide functions (demand management, product design, and
delivery) required and supported by an ERP implementation.
The Introduction to
ERP course explores essential terminology, investigates guidelines for
implementation, and includes a manufacturing case study. The course
also addresses tactical functions required, such as project management
and project planning, and provides an overview of implementation
alternatives for ERP.
Listen to what one
professional has to say:
"The ERP course provides the
background knowledge necessary before an ERP decision is made ... then
progresses through successful implementation. I found the course to be solid and
well focused. I can't wait to offer this course to our members and member
firms!"
