APICS Basics of Supply Chain Management

Click here for course outline


Course Objectives

1.                  To understand the basic concepts and vocabulary at an introductory or building block level that is fundamental to the APICS “Body Of Knowledge”.  The “Planning Hierarchy” will be introduced, which through this course and others hopefully to follow, will allow one to effectively evaluate and apply those principles integral to Materials Management and/or Supply Chain Management in the broadest sense of the terms.

2.                  To serve as a part of the preparation process for individuals desiring to pursue the APICS Certification in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM), with the Basics of Supply Chain Management being the first segment in the national examination progression.

3.                  Both to encourage students to share the best and the less effective practices from their current work environment as it relates to the course content, and to provide a resource network to discuss and to explore pragmatic and results orientated approaches to the real life materials or production/inventory control issues one might face daily.

Did you know?

"CIMdata views Mastercam® as the de facto industry standard PC-based CAM software product. It is a well-known, competitively priced, general-purpose software that provides a broad base of modeling and NC software capability. It is appropriate for most machining environments, from production machining operations within manufacturing firms to machining relatively complex surfaces within mold shops. It is particularly well suited to job shops that have a wide range of machining requirements". (Alan Christman, "High Marks for a Software Standard," Tooling and Production, June, 2001)

Is it time to let the PDC's CAD/CAM training help you maximize your workers' potential?
