Project Management Death March Projects
John H. Capron, CPIM President, Mid-Hudson Chapter of APICS

CHAPTER’S
Executive Message:
Every successful organization owes some of its success to effective supply chain management and logistics. The Global Supply Chain process consists of eight key processes that make up the core of supply chain management and those are; • Customer Relationship Management, • Customer Service Management, • Demand Management, • Order Fulfillment, • Manufacturing Flow Management, • Procurement, • Product Development and Commercialization and • Returns.
These processes focus on the flow of goods and information from the source of raw materials through the distribution channels to the final consumer, and beyond, to recycling and disposal. In today's competitive environment, managing transportation, inventory, product plans and schedules, and information flows are critical to satisfying customers and creating competitive advantages. Organizations compete globally by working with international suppliers, outsourcing, and marketing to consumers worldwide. This global reality places even more importance on successful supply chain management.
While many have recognized the benefits of a process approach to managing the business and the supply chain, most of us are vague about what processes are to be considered, what sub-processes and activities are contained in each process, and how the processes interact with each other and with the traditional functional silos.
APICS Central Jersey Chapter’s education program helps employers and employees in NJ improve their understand-ing of SCM Processes, techniques and latest technological tools. We are currently conducting many public and private classes and we can also deliver the same education or a custom version directly to your facility if that better suits your needs. Visit us at http://apics-cjer.org/content.php?page=Education_Classes for upcoming education program details.
Look forward to seeing everyone…
