Expand your thinking beyond lean to include the integration of green wastes that you can apply

to both your personal life and at work. This will include an expanded view of the wastes of lean,

energy and environment. We will present real life examples that will help you understand the

value of this approach. The “take away” will include a tool to help you review any process to

identify these wastes. Warning: Your way of thinking after this session may result in changes

in behavior which may lead to saving money and improving the quality of your life.

Kurt Middelkoop has over 29 years of experience

in manufacturing and small business ownership

and operation and presents a holistic, integrated

approach to his customers. He helps

organizations remain globally competitive by

identifying improvement opportunities that

eliminate waste while protecting margins and

increasing both profitability and

competitiveness. Over the past 15 years he has

worked with over 75 organizations to identify

annual cost savings of over 18 million dollars

which includes 11 million from lean, 4.5 million

from energy and 2.5 million from environmental

opportunities. He received his B. S. Industrial Engineering from the University of Tennessee in

1984.

My Journey to CPIM Certification

Kyemba McMillian

July 31st culminated a journey I began in 2004. I was first introduced to APICS by a company that hired me straight from college. I did not fully understand what the organization was or why I needed more classes, but my company offered an onsite Detailed Scheduling and Planning course so I decided to attend. After completion of the class I decided to take the test and passed but gained much more than another certificate. It helped me to understand my goals as a material planner a little bit better and how my role fit in with the overall company’s success (or failure).

Fast forward to 2013, from there I took classes and self-studied to pass all the other modules of CPIM with one remaining, Strategic Management of Resources. With classes expiring after 10 years, I needed to pass SMOR before I would be forced to retake the test. Well, I failed...twice. Not only that but now I had to retake two of the exams I previously passed because they had expired. At the beginning of 2015 I made it a goal to complete my CPIM certification. I started by retaking the two exams that had expired. At this point on the job experience along with self-study tools helped me pass the exams. Once again SMOR stood between me and my goals. This time around I was going to seek help and enrolled in the SMOR course offered by the chapter. Not only did the course help me prepare for the exam, but Jim, Mak, and Bob explained the material in a way that helped me understand as opposed to knowing just to pass a test. Needless to say a week after the course was over I took my final test and passed. It feels good not only to know I achieved a career goal of mine but also to have the knowledge to continue advancing my career and the tools needed to be successful on the job.



Scottish Rite Tree Lighting Ceremony and Decorating

Sandra Eutsler

Tuesday, December 1st, 2015

Arrive – 5:00 PM

Program – 5:30 PM

Decorate – 6:00 PM

Dinner is offered during and after decorating.

On Tuesday, December 1st, North Texas APICS will participate in decorating Christmas trees

at the Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas. Come lend a hand as we create the

Christmas season for the children and their families! Together we can help make the holidays

extraordinary for the kids at the hospital. Some of the children at the Scottish Rite are in the

hospital for long periods of time, and the experience we can give them is inspiring and

magical.

We feel grateful to have participated in this event for over 15 years and counting. Our group

sponsors and trims one tree in the motion lab. Volunteers from our group congregate in the

main foyer of the hospital for the opening ceremony and tree lighting event; afterwards we

begin decorating. Decorating takes about 30 minutes. There will be an old fashioned band

playing Christmas music, and popcorn and soft drinks will be offered during the

ceremony. After decorating is done, some of us take the opportunity stroll through the hospital

to see the trees decorated by other groups (optional). A meal is proudly served by volunteers

after the tree decorating.

So come join in on the fun, and make the holidays exceptional for some very special kids and

their families.
