Wanted: Speakers
Speakers for APICS NONJ!!!We are constantly on the lookout for exceptional speakers to address our monthly Program Dinner Meetings (PDM's). If you are qualified to present a 45-60 minute presentation on an Operations Management topic, we would like to hear from you. The topic needs to be on or related to aspects of Supply Chain Management. It does not have to be a direct hit on production and inventory control, that is old school. Supply Chain Management touches on all areas of a company and these interrelationships make for a suitable presentation.
Please submit in 100 or fewer words, a write-up on the topic you would like to present. Also, include a bio on yourself. Submit to jbragar@verizon.net.

NONJ APICS Presents
YOU CAN’T BE LEAN
WITH A FAT STOREROOM
Presented by
George E. Krauter
Achieving sustainable productivity requires a corporate investment in the principles of LEAN. To be successful, LEAN requires reliable process and equipment, which, in turn, requires a world-class [LEAN] indirect materials-MRO storeroom.
The optimum level of any LEAN investment is affected negatively by a fat storeroom operation that has fat transactions, fat information, fat inventory and fat duplications in the MRO supply chain.
This presentation addresses the complex supplier networks in the MRO supply chain and shows how these complexities can be simplified to produce a LEAN environment. The world of MRO is replete with unpredictable demand, which is a reflection of the volatile demands of the market. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
