Connecting Students to the Future

APICS: The Association for Operations Management

 

The Buffalo Chapter, which has 340 members representing 152 firms meets every month from Sept. through May.  Our mission is “To Meet the Resource Management Needs of Western New York Organizations.”  We do this by offering many opportunities to expand your professional knowledge, education, and networking possibilities.  This is often in the form of classes, seminars and tours and Professional Development Meetings.

These Professional Development Meetings that are moderately priced begin with networking opportunity time, meal, announcements, followed by presentations on production and inventory control topics by a knowledgeable speaker.  We also conduct plant tours, workshops, and periodic seminars.  Our educational offerings encompass all the modules required for CPIM certification as well as courses in specific areas such as inventory accuracy and bills of materials.  Our instructors are both professional and certified to teach these courses.
