Presidents Message
July 13, 2008
Congratulations…
To chapter members Carson Schott
(Cooper Industries) and Jim Cole (IGT) for achieving CPIM
Certification. Both members passed their final certification
exam on June 14th.
The Northern Sierra Chapter now boasts 36
members with CPIM Certification.
A new year…
The chapter operates on a July 1 – June 30
calendar. Some facts about the chapter as we begin the 2008-2009
year:
The chapter has 151 members from 58
different companies. IGT has the largest number of
members with 51. Cooper Industries (Reno) has the second
largest membership with 7. Three companies have six chapter
members: Server Technology (Reno), GE Energy
(Minden), and EE Technologies (Reno).
Recent new members are from IGT and
LSP Products (Carson City).
The chapter’s board of directors is an
all-volunteer group of ten with members from IGT, CEVA
Logistics, and Management Assistance Partnership.
The chapter will again be offering the full
series of five CPIM Certification courses in the coming year. 78
students attended courses in 2007-2008.
We’ll also continue to offer monthly
Professional Development Meeting September through May (except
December) with plant tours during the summer months. 363 people
attended these events last year.
APICS is in the process of introducing the
Lean Enterprise Workshop series. The Northern Sierra Chapter
plans to present this timely and very-well designed series. The
series consists of seven four-hour modules. We hope to offer the
workshop before the end of 2008. Both the newsletter and the
website will carry updated information.
