What's in a Name? -- How did I miss this from October? Maybe I was out of touch.
APICS -- The Educational Society for Resource Management is changing its name to APICS -- The Association for Operations Management, and will use a new tag line -- Advancing Productivity, Innovation, and Competitive Success.
APICS was founded in 1957 as the American Production and Inventory Control Society, Inc. In the early 1990s, it adopted the name APICS -- The Educational Society for Resource Management to acknowledge its growing international presence and expanded scope.
APICS is the professional society that has most openly accepted TOC as a part of it's body of knowledge, via its CMSIG -- Constraints Management Special Interest Group.
