     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.

     For people aspiring to APICS certification, Fundamentals establishes a solid entry-level base of knowledge upon which to build. The four modules of Fundamentals are:

·     The Fundamentals of Inventory Control introduces participants to essential vocabulary and skills identifying and applying the basic principles of inventory management.

·     The Fundamentals of Planning teaches participants the principals of effective planning.

·     The Fundamentals of Manufacturing Control course details priority and capacity management through the use of material requirements planning (MRP).

·     The Fundamentals of Operations Management maps out the relationship between goods and services and the operation of the systems.

     These are 12 session modules that will be approximately 3 hours per weekly class session.  Participant evaluation includes weekly performance checks of class work, readings, and homework; a mid-term examination; a final examination, and case studies. Participants that successfully complete each module will receive a Certificate of Completion.  Course Fee is only $289.00 for 36 hours of classroom training and includes an APICS Participant Workbook plus any instructor handouts. The student must individually purchase any supplemental materials.
