Please plan to
attend our April 18, 2006 Professional Development
Meeting.
The
Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) program is a new
industry educational and certification program created to
meet the rapidly changing needs of the supply chain
management field.
From the manufacturing to the service industry, regardless
of whether a company is serving business or consumer
markets or is for profit or not-for-profit, the
increasingly important role of supply chain management is
affecting all organizations. Customers already expect good
quality at low prices, and speed of delivery is becoming
more important. As a result, effective supply chain
management has become essential to successfully compete in
today's global marketplace.
The
CSCP program takes a broad view of the field, extending
beyond internal operations to encompass all the steps
throughout the supply chain--from the supplier, through the
company, to the end consumer--and provides you with the
knowledge to effectively manage the integration of these
activities to maximize a company's value chain.
This presentation will provide an
overview of the Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) program
and cover basic inventory management.
Presented
by Chuck Morris CPIM, CIRM
Chuck
Morris started his career with a Master's degree in
Electrical Engineering and worked at a semiconductor
development lab for IBM. He constantly focused on
developing closed-loop systems and electronic circuits that
were built into computer chips. These
skills
were
enhanced by an interest in
computer
aided
design and engineering simulation, when he spent 4 years
installing solutions for various manufacturers. To improve
his skill in manufacturing, Chuck became a certified
production and inventory control consultant. In 1993 he
started his own company. For the last 13 years he has
developed a network of professionals that can solve the
most demanding and complex supply chain issues. From 1994
to 2000, MCTI was contracted to implement Mercedes-Benz
Integrated Business Systems in Vance, Alabama. This
included the just-in-time delivery systems. Inventory was
ordered and tracked in hourly buckets, some suppliers were
paid after the parts went into the vehicle and
one
accounts payable person paid all production suppliers.
This was all made
possible by EDI and custom interfaces between suppliers,
the customers at the dealerships and all the different
systems that existed in between. The end-result was an
integrated system that
utilized
all
the core
capabilities
of
their ERP system.
The
supply chain solutions being deployed today include the
best practices that have been
identified
from
many site visits, process workshops,
benchmarking
activities
and
system implementations.
