to the home page of the Northeastern
Pennsylvania APICS Chapter.
Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA.
Our chapter is staffed entirely by volunteers, most with
full-time jobs in Northeastern Pennsylvania area.
APICS is globally recognized as a not-for-profit
organization serving the manufacturing and service industries. Founded in 1957
as the American Production and Inventory Control Society, APICS has expanded its
focus to include a full range of programs and materials on individual and
organizational education, standards of excellence, and integrated resource
management. To reflect this new direction, we are now know as APICS - The
Association for Operations Management. With over 40 years of
experience and more than 72,000 individual and corporate members, APICS is the
premier provider of quality education in resource management.
Our chapter is one of 270 in North America that provide manufacturing
and service professionals with educational and networking opportunities. Our chapter
offers education classes to help individuals prepare for certification in either
Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) or Integrated Resource Management (CIRM).
The approximate geographic region covered by our chapter is the area bounded in the north by
the New York state line, in the east by the New Jersey state line, in the south by an
area just south of
Interstate 80 and in the west by Routes 487 and 220.
Our web site is dedicated to providing our members with
the latest chapter news and sources of information related to the APICS
body-of-knowledge. We also provide links to other web sites we think our members
may find useful in their daily lives as resource management professionals.
