Welcome
Hello and welcome to the Southwest District of APICS.
APICS Southwest District represents the members and customers
of Southern California, Arizona, Southern Nevada, and Baja
Mexico. We have an active membership that includes over 4500
individuals and companies supporting APICS's vision of life
long learning for lifetime success.
Each of the Southwest District's 15 Chapters allow members
to hear real life success stories of production and inventory
improvements through professional development meetings, workshops
and seminars, and CPIM and CIRM certification preparation.
We at the Southwest District are working diligently to assist
the local chapters with information, training, education products
that will assist you and your company in the coming months
and years. Your local Chapter professionals can provide classes,
networking opportunity, in-house training and seminars to
target and support the continuous improvement process that
many of us are undertaking.
The Southwest District Staff is ready and able to assist
you with any questions or suggestions that you might have
as well as direct your inquiries to your local Chapter for
more personalized service. Please give us a call or email
to let us know how we're doing or how we may better serve
your needs.
Sincerely,
District Meeting
