The APICS Principles program: An overview

APICS Principles is a program that includes five courses which are divided into sets of 11 sessions, including two tests. APICS Principles courses will provide your employees with a foundational knowledge of the principles, methods, techniques, and language of operations management, and an understanding of how operations management strategies impact your organization. Also available are advanced topics for employees who already have a background in operations management.

Here is why from our team's feed back:

• The course covers everything from operational point of view.
• It was not just a brief outline of the course. It has more substance. It outlines how everything worked together and how everything connects in the chain from strategic to transactional processes.
• It was a good overview. It gives you more knowledge on what is happening with other areas of the business. It was all layout in a very detailed manner.
• The course was a lot to take in for some participants and too much for one time. Some of the terms and topics were not what we were using in the business. The instructor did the best to explain how the APICS course (which is mainly based in USA industry) can be tailored-fit to how NZ business works.
• It builds a good solid platform of understanding Supply Chain.
  The recommendation on having an in-house discussion within the team about the principles, learning and how to apply the relevant topics to the business.
• Understand the practical applications of the course, the reason how and why we do current business practices.
• Having a common platform on APICS terminologies and how we use such terminologies in Sealed Air Auckland business.
• The course was really good and very interesting. The best part for some of the participants is related to the warehouse, transportation and logistics. These topics were good baseline knowledge for the team who is working in that area.
• There has been a realignment of businesses and practices. It has provided opportunity for the rest of the team to understand how other parts/areas of the business works"
