Fore! 8 handicap no help on this golf course

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 2/1/1998

APICS-The Educational Society for Resource Management-will hold workshops this year for manufacturing execs. Included is one that tees up its topic by approaching the course's goal, learning to improve manufacturing-in this case, golf clubs-from a different direction. Off the fairway, perhaps, this approach is not way out of bounds.

Here's why: The session "Making MRP II Work for You," May 4-5, Atlanta is not your typical instructor-led seminar. Instead, it centers around a computer simulation of the golf club maker.

Through simulation, attendees are expected to achieve a better understanding of MRP II, manufacturing resource planning, and the business functions that impact it. This course repeats Sept. 14-15, Toronto, and Nov. 5-6, Nashville.

For information on this and all other educational offerings, call 800-444-2742 or 703-237-8344. Or you can visit the Web site www.apics.org.
