About Central Indiana APICS
APICS® is an international organization offering a full range of

techniques. The materials, developed under the direction of management
experts, are available at the local, regional, and national levels.
Since 1957, APICS members have been at the forefront of such management
and manufacturing achievements as the widespread use of material
requirements planning (MRP) in the workplace and the introduction of
dynamic philosophies that effect all areas of manufacturing management.
APICS’ internationally recognized certification in production and
inventory management (CPIM) program is a standard by which companies
gauge individual knowledge and understanding of the production and
inventory control concepts and methods. APICS administers more than
60,000 CPIM exams around the world annually.
Answering the need for a more cross functional. integrated workforce,
APICS developed the certified in integrated resource management (CIRM)
educational and self-assessment process. In conjunction with the CIRM
process, APICS offers a variety of educational programs and services
that provide information regarding the interdependencies of all business
disciplines.
In addition, members receive the monthly APICS-The Performance Advantage
