Introduction to Humaneering Technology

Humaneering Institute is the nonprofit global organization formed to create, share, and oversee humaneering technology. Humaneering is biopsychosocial technology that simplifies the application of human-science and -practice principles to the design and management of people-dependent work systems, thus enabling significantly higher levels of operations effectiveness and productivity. http://www.humaneeringinstitute.org/

Participants will learn to distinguish between standardized work (one right way) and adaptive work (judgment required).  The move from a manufacturing based to a service based economy has shifted work requirements from standardized to adaptive.  Dr. Pepitone will show how Humaneering principles can be applied to job design to improve operational performance and worker motivation by focusing on adaptive work requirements. 

Dr. James Pepitone is Director of Technology Transfer and Communications for the nonprofit Humaneering Institute.  He has a BBA in Industrial Management and an MBA from The University of Texas.  His MS in Organization Development and Ed. D in Organization Change are from Pepperdine University.  Dr. Pepitone is an APICS member from the North Texas Chapter.  His work experience includes over 25 years of management consulting on people performance improvement projects for more than 200 major companies.  

"The nineteenth century was marked by great achievements in engineering.
Advances in psychology, sociology, and physiology should lead us to
as striking advances in 'humaneering' during the twentieth century."
The Psychology of Normal People (1940, p. 24)

Community Service - Adopt-A-Highway Program for Spring 2012

Saturday Morning April 28, 2012

As a community-oriented, volunteer, professional educational organization, your local APICS chapter is participating in the NM Adopt-A-Highway program.

Our section of highway to clean up is a one-mile stretch between mile marker 12 and 13 (between Rover and Candelaria) on Tramway.

This is our chance to give something back to our community in the way of service

Education

CPIM BSCM Course

Strategic Management of Resources

Move your learning to the next level through the SMR module that includes higher-level thinking or strategic planning and implementation of operations. This includes an understanding of how market requirements drive the resources and processes of an organization. Topics include:

• Knowing the relationship of existing and emerging processes and technologies to operations and supply chain functions
• Understanding various business environments
• Knowing how business strategies are developed and how operation strategies are implemented

This will be an onsite coarse at The Bell Group.

DATES: Classes will begin May 1 and should complete in July.

Congratulations Albuquerque Chapter!

Once again your Albuquerque Chapter has achieved APICS highest level of excellence and been awarded the APICS Platinum level of Achievement.

What is C-Bar? “Chapter Benchmarking and Reporting”.

What does it mean?: Every APICS chapter is required to submit an extensive report annually to be evaluated on how we are doing in meeting APICS standards in enhancing growth, chapter development and value-added activities to better serve our members, community and end users.

How are we judged? Your Albuquerque Chapter was judged on a number of categories including: Customer Expectations and Marketing, Communications, Professional Development Events, Education, APICS Participation, Membership, Chapter Management and Financial Responsibility.

Is Platinum good? Platinum is great! This level is achieved by reaching and maintaining the highest possible point total (345-465 points) for five years consecutively. Not an easy task for a small chapter like ours.

Who’s Responsible? Your hard working volunteer Board of Directors! Out of the local chapter membership step forward a few dedicated individuals who believe in the value of APICS and are willing to give of their time and energy to maintain an award winning team to bring you all that APICS has to offer. A lot of hard work goes into what hopefully to the members, looks like a seamless supply of classes, tours, speakers and events.

Great job Albuquerque Board of Directors! Thank you for your time, dedication and endless energy year after year after year.
