Happy Thanksgiving to All of Our Members!
President's Message
from
George Lazarides Here we are in November and it seems as if summer just left us.
As we approach Thanksgiving I’m sure we will all think about all of the the things we have to be thankful for.
Dave Hollinger once again did a terrific job presenting his topic, the 5 S’s + 1 of lean manufacturing, at our October Professional Development Meeting (PDM). The 5 S’s stand for, Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain and the +1 is for safety which should be in the foreground of every manufacturing facility. Dave defined and explained in detail what each S meant. Then the fun started. Dave showed actual pictures of various manufacturing shop floors and the audience had to identify as many S-faults as possible. The interaction between Dave and the audience, and between the audience members themselves, was full of energy and a lot of fun. Once again, Dave lived up to our expectations of getting a great presentation. Don’t miss next month when our speaker Armida J. Macri presents the topic of Breakthrough Process Automation Paradigm: Rapid Deployment of Real-Time Visibility, Collaboration & Alerts. So come on down to the Cranbury Inn and join us as we listen to an informative presentation and to meet some of your chapter members.
We’ve just started a course:
Basics of Supply Chain Management in Mt. Laurel
and we will be starting two courses in December: Please contact us if you are interested in these two courses. Each can help you further your career from an individual learning stand point or as preparation for a path for APICS certification. Remember, if you want to earn more, you have to learn more.
Basics of Supply Chain Management in East Winsor
Strategic Management of Resources in East Winsor
These courses and others are listed in the education section of this newsletter. There is an old saying that says " You can not have the the things you've never had before without doing things that you've never done before". So now is the time to get involved in your chapter and get started on your way to career enhancement. I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and I look forward to seeing you at our next PDM!

Hello to All of Our Members!
Hello to all of our PRSJ members!
V.P. of Membership: Frank Albatangelo
As Thanksgiving approaches I would like to thank you all for the support you've shown over the years. And of course, I'd like to wish you and your famiIies a Happy Thanksgiving. We also thank all those members of the PRSJ chapter who have recently renewed their APICS membership to continue with their APICS education and other chapter benefits.
APICS—The Association for Operations Management is an international educational society recognized worldwide for its training and certification programs. Our nearly 70,000 members are resource management professionals from 20,000 manufacturing and service companies around the world. APICS members are individuals responsible for directing the supply chain, materials management, information services, purchasing, customer service, and quality control within their companies.
Membership in APICS is open to anyone with an interest in the field of Operations or Resource Management. Although the roots of APICS are in manufacturing production and inventory management, the scope of our society has broadened over the years to address operations and resource management issues in a wide variety of organizations, including banks, utilities, and health care. MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS: APICS membership brings with it a variety of benefits. APICS members receive the monthly magazine, APICS-The Performance Advantage and the APICS Dictionary, as well as the APICS International Conference and Exposition Proceedings. APICS members can participate in a variety of electronic discussion forums, receive information from the APICS Hotline, and take advantage of the APICS Career Center.
APICS members receive discounts on the hundreds of publications available at the APICS Bookstore. In addition, APICS members receive discounts on Society educational workshops and programs, as well as discounts on certification exam registration and registration for the APICS International Conference and Exposition. Of course, the opportunity to network with your peers is a benefit that's hard to put a price tag on - you may just find a solution to that problem that's been a real headache for your company!
APICS offers several categories of membership, including Professional, Group-Site, and Student. Anyone can join under a Professional membership. A Group-Site membership entitles a specific company facility or location to five designated members who receive the normal APICS publications, but any employee of the company is eligible for member discounts on publications and programs. A Student membership is available to full-time students at accredited institutions of higher learning. Education Educational programs, such as Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) and Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP), provide information regarding the interdependencies of all business disciplines. APICS certifications are internationally recognized, often specified in employment ads, and can provide you with a foot in the door at the next employer. Members in between positions can attend our classes for just the price of the learning materials.
Member Application: If you are taking or plan to begin taking courses toward APICS Certification via classes held by APICS PRSJ, it makes good sense to become an APICS member and to qualify for the discount of 15% off each class. Your annual membership cost will be covered by the time you take your second class!! To become a member, either enroll online or download an application and mail it to APICS to start shaping your future today. APICS Membership is $200 ($165 for National Membership and $35 for Chapter dues). Be sure to request to be placed in the Princeton South Jersey chapter. You can obtain an application by going on the web to the following link::
http://www.apics.org/Membership/Join/professional.htm then download a prospectus (PDF pages 9-12), ">http://www.apics.org/Membership/Join/professional.htm then download a prospectus (PDF pages 9-12), or call APICS Customer Support at (800) 444-APICS (2742) or (703) 354-8851 to enroll join by phone.
