President's Message

May 2009

 

There is a lot of Gold Rush activity this May!

On May 21, we will be having a Professional Development Meeting based on Lean Principles in a game like format. Gary Waters will train us to work using traditional manufacturing methods. We will then begin applying Lean Principles and track our progress as we eliminate waste and become more efficient. This should be a very fun, informative meeting.

May 28 marks the beginning of our Basics of Supply Chain Management class. It will be held at Delicato winery and will be taught by John Newlyn. This is a great class for anyone new to the Supply Chain field or wanting to better understand what it is all about. If you are interested, please sign up by using the CPIM tab under education.
