Board of Directors 2006-2007
This year
the APICS membership will have the opportunity to vote for a member of the
APICS Executive Committee. A ballot will be mailed to all voting members of the organization
in early October. Please take a moment
to review the ballot and then vote. Take note that your ballot must be mailed and
arrive at APCS headquarters by late October to be counted.
MESSAGE
FROM THE PRESIDENT:
We are off to a very successful start to the program year.
Our September PDM was very well attended. Bob Collins, our featured speaker, treated us
to an extremely interesting and informative presentation. He provided a number
of templates by which to measure what stage your supply chain and its
professionals are at. His presentation clearly
indicated that supply chain professionals must grow and evolve in order to keep
pace with ever changing requirements. The journey from tactical to strategic is
long and arduous, but necessary for our companies and for us to compete on a
global basis and survive.
Another sign of our successful start is that our first CPIM
Review class is now underway with an almost full group of participants. There
are a few openings left for upcoming sessions, so if you are at all interested,
please contact me for details. We were please to present CPIM pins to three of
last year’s participants who were in attendance at the
September meeting as well. Sue D’Amico, Sue Krebsbach
and Brett Koehn were recognized for earning their CPIM
certifications. Congratulations!
For October we have another very
interesting PDM that will include a tour of Spancrete in Valders.
They manufacture a very interesting concrete product that is
used in construction industry and is used in the Marquette Interchange
project in
The International Conference in
For those needing to maintain their CPIM certification,
there are a number of ways to get the points necessary. 75 points are needed and 5
per year are earned for APICS membership.
For those interested in the requirements, we have copies of the
Certification Maintenance Bulletin available at all PDM’s.
One last note, we could use additional talent on the BOD. If
you are at all interested, or just curious, please attend one of our meetings.
The next one is Tuesday Nov 7 at LTC starting at 6:00 p.m. Please contact any
BOD member if you’d like to attend.
I look forward to another big turnout at our October PDM, as
we tour Spancrete, and hope to see many of you there.
Bruce Balthazor, CPIM, C.P.M.
President-Shoreline APICS
Our next
highway clean up will be in spring.
