To Chapter Members and friends of the APICS DANBURY Chapter:

     The Danbury Chapter of APICS serves the northern portion of Fairfield Country and parts of eastern New York. APICS is the premier educational source for operations management and supply chain professionals. The Danbury Chapter offers courses to support the CPIM, CSCP and CLTD certification programs offered by APICS. 

We have lined up our program year through January and are working to finish the first half of 2020. We are still are looking for topics, speakers, and plant tours, that would be of interest to you, for our next series of meetings. If you have any recommentations, please contact us at [email protected]

Our October meeting, Oct. 2, 2019, was held at the Olive Garden Resturant on Backus Road, across from the Mall in Danbury. Mark Hehl gave an excellent talk on the role of culture when dealing with multiple countries for both supply and distribution.

Our next two meetings are going to be plant tours. Nov 6th at Reverie Brewery in Newtown and then Dec 4th at Memry Corp in Bethel. Giving in to New England winters, we have webinars planned for January and February.

We are currently trying to offer a class for CPIM Part 1, dates and times will be worked out. We have people interested and need a few more to start the class. We do have a corporate class in Stamford for CPIM Part 2 that should start after the new year.

The new two (2) exam approach has proved very sucessfull. It may now be the time to move ahead and get your CPIM designation.    Our package for both parts of CPIM includes the class, with experience instructors, the CPIM system, an exam voucher and now a retake exam voucher.  Please contact Steve Halliday, VP of Educaton, ([email protected])  if you are interested in the class.

Sincerely,

 Doug Stevens CPIM-F CIRM CSCP  President
