" Even though I have been a supply chain analyst for 13 years, many of the best practices and reasons why were really never explained. The APICS Basics of Supply Chain Management module and course explanations have really helped me to understand the concepts and gave me ideas on how to further improve our supply chain.

" The APICS Basics of Supply Chain Management course reinforced the need for me to continue to apply lean to our manufacturing process so that it is more reliable and predictable. Many of the lean and Just-in-Time improvements I learned from APICS will improve forecasting accuracy. I now have a better understanding of the impact poor forecasting has on the entire business and learned something every week that I will be able to apply in the future.

" APICS Basics of Supply Chain Management module has been an eye-opening course for me. My interest in supply chain was jump-started during my lean training through APICS in 2005. I see now in our course text and discussion boards that there is so much opportunity to improve our business processes if we know how to assess them in depth.

" I'm really excited to see how many concepts I can implement from the Basics of Supply Chain Management course. It was great to refresh the basic concepts—and I'm looking at them with a new and different perspective.

" The APICS Basics of Supply Chain Management course has helped me to solve issues in the planning, scheduling, and procurement processes in one of my production lines. APICS education made me realize some of the concepts were not clearly understood throughout my supply chain, and I learned how critical it is for all of us to speak the same language. With this online course, distance is no longer an issue, so the key supply chain staff outside the United States can benefit from this course.
