Big Data and the Future of Business Decision Making
University of Toledo Student Union

Join APICS Toledo on the evening of Tuesday April 21st at the University of Toledo for our joint Professional Development Meeting with the UT APICS Student Chapter.

Our speaker will be Dr. Robert Detwiler (Lourdes University) and his presentation will be “Big Data and the Future of Business Decision Making”.

The issue of “big data” is ever present in seminars, conferences, and articles on the future of management in the 21st century. Businesses are spending vast amounts of resources on data collection, mining, and software programs to make better decisions on issues related to customers, employees and the competition. This presentation will focus on the macro issues facing businesses with the “big data” issue, in addition to those issues now creating new pressures on managers and leaders to get results. In addition, we will discuss the need to not overlook human judgment and “gut instincts” in making decisions with an overwhelming amount of data and information.

$25 for APICS professional members, $30 for guests, $15 for students.

APICS is the leading professional association for supply chain and operations management.

How to Apply 5S (from Lean) to Any Workplace
University of Toledo Student Union

Everything our mom told us about cleaning our room, making our bed, and picking up after ourselves was true!!!!!

Remember growing up, mom told us we couldn’t go out to play with our friends until our bedrooms were clean? We griped because we didn’t realize that mom was laying the groundwork for successfully competing in today’s marketplace. It turns out the concepts of 5S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain) are foundational activities necessary for us to have a chance at successful and sane work environments.

5S is one of the Lean philosophies and techniques necessary if we as employees want a more pleasant work environment, more satisfying jobs, processes that make the job easier and make sense. For employers, 5S means higher quality, lower costs, easier maintenance, greater customer satisfaction, and higher profitability. It is the foundation for continually improving ourselves.

This highly interactive presentation is perfect for any owner, manager, leader, or employee responsible for performing the tasks of an organization, and seeking to continuously improve. Participants will apply what they learned immediately with an exercise that includes a sweet surprise!

Maryanne Ross, CFPIM, CIRM, CSCP, CDDP, is an author, speaker, international trainer, and instructor specializing in Personal and Professional Development and Supply Chain Management.

Cost is $25 for APICS members, $30 for guests and $15 for students.

MRP and Kanban; Together Again for the First Time
PizzaPapalis Toledo

The Toledo APICS Chapter's October PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MEETING features Don Guild From Synchronous Management: MRP and Kanban; Together Again for the First Time

Most companies who attempt to implement pull/kanban struggle with three issues. First, how do we right-size and re-size our supermarkets to get the best possible flow? What are the effects of production capacity on supermarket sizes? Supermarkets may be too large, resulting in production of unneeded items, or too small, resulting in stockouts. Either way, resources are too often engaged in producing what we do not need, and not available to produce what we do need. The expediting and firefighting continue, and inventory levels remain high – even with kanban!

Second, what techniques are appropriate for signaling replenishment? Do we signal with empty containers, kanban cards, first-in-first-out lanes, min/max, or some other technique? Too often, cumbersome manual techniques are chosen, the pull system deteriorates for lack of maintenance, is limited in its scope to only a few products, or we spend much non-value adding time making – and remaking - kanban cards! Third, how do we resolve conflicts between our kanban system and our MRP system? What do we do when kanban tells us to do one thing and MRP says another? Don't we still need MRP, even with kanban? How to we make kanban and MRP work together?

This presentation focuses on answering all of these questions. You will learn what data to harvest in any automated MRP system to size and resize your supermarkets with ease. You will examine the effects of management policies on an effective pull/kanban system. You will explore the application of automated pull techniques that provide visual control without non-value-added manual effort - and how to link pull/kanban to your existing requirements planning system.

Process Improvements
Mancy's Italian Restaurant

Process charts have long been used in quality management for monitoring processes as part of quality management efforts. However, the power of the underlying principles and applications may not be fully tapped by organizations that already have expertise in using the tool.

Dr. William Sawaya will present some of his own research and discuss other research that makes use of process charts in managing some processes which are not typical settings for the use of such charts. Almost any process currently being managed can be better understood and better managed by applying the principles of process improvements, and using such tools as process charts.

$25 for APICS professional members and guests, $15 for students (Unemployed Toledo professional members attend for free.)

Reservation cut-off date is Tuesday, November 6, at 5:00 pm Send your reservation request to programs@apicstoledo.org
