Greater KC APICS Training & Development Courses Offered in 2011!

In the face of a tougher economy, it is important to be a person who provides great value to the company and their bottom line. Taking local, instructor-led CPIM, CSCP, or Business Forecasting and Demand, is a great way to expand your own marketable skills and also meet other industry professionals. In-person classes allow for great information sharing between actual companies and how each one handles the same business challenges we all face. Live instruction provides immediate feedback to questions about the material instead of sending an email out into cyberspace or just posting to a message board.

If you are a member of management in your company, this is a great opportunity to strengthen your existing workforce through training. CPIM, CSCP, Business Forecasting & Demand (CFDM) classes provide knowledge and insights that have immediate, relevant, real-world applications within your environment.   Our “In-House”  training for companies this year has had excellent results!  At “Gear For Sports” in Lenexa, several million dollars of improvement opportunities were discovered during classroom exercises!
