Education News:
APICS’ new Lean Enterprise Workshop
Series, a seven module course that has been designed in recognition of
the demand in the marketplace for education about lean. The series will
be available for purchase in July 2008, but in preparation for the launch
we are informing you in advance so that instructors may be identified and
classes scheduled.
APICS will be
offering a Lean Enterprise Workshop Series Train the Trainer course the
week of June 2, 2008, at its corporate offices in Chicago. Course registration is free.
Instructors who are interested in participating must complete an
application and be sponsored by a chapter.
About the
APICS Lean Enterprise Workshop Series
The APICS Lean Enterprise Workshop Series has been developed during
the last year by a team of instructional design professionals and subject
matter experts. The series is organized to enable participants to
approach the lean transformation process systematically. Using scenarios
from a fictitious company, Murphy’s Toys, participants are tasked
with finding lean solutions to a myriad of challenges. The Murphy’s
Toys model enables instructors to customize the material for
organizations and industries.
Special Introductory Offer for Chapters
For a twelve month period after the release of the product, the APICS
Lean Enterprise Workshop Series will only be available for purchase by
APICS partners, which include APICS chapters, International Associates,
and Authorized Education Providers.
Chapters who
begin the APICS Lean Enterprise Workshop Series with at least five
participants before the end of 2008 will receive the instructor guide
(valued at $575) at no charge. A preview copy of the first workshop is
available to each chapter. Please contact Chapter Relations at chaprel@apics.org before May 16, 2008, to order your copy. Include
the APICS ID, name, board title, chapter name, and mailing address for
the designated chapter contact in your request. There is a limit of one copy
