System for Remanufacturing
APICS Tampa Bay, the leadng association for supply chain and operations management, invites members of local professional associations, the academic community and business professionals to our Professional Development Meeting on March 11, 2014 from 5:30 to 8:00 pm at the DoubleTree Hotel, 4500 West Cypress Street, Tampa FL 33607.
We are pleased to announce this will be a joint meeting with the Financial Executives Networking Group (FENG). APICS Tampa Bay would also like to extend a special invitation and welcome to employees of Stryker in Lakeland and Covidien in Tampa.
Our Speaker is Dr. Gary Landis, CFPIM, CIRM, CSCP and APICS Master Instructor. Dr. Landis will be speaking on the topic of "Implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System for Remanufacturing".
Remanufacturing is a form of recycling that reuses machines that no longer work. This process is performed by disassembling a piece of equipment to repair it, recycle it, or harvest its parts.
The remanufacturing of expensive, long-living investment goods is now being extended to a large number of consumer goods with short life cycles. Reuse is an alternative to material recycling to comply with recovery rates and quantities as well as special treatment requirements mandated by regulatory authorities.
This presentation is based on a case study where Dr. Landis was involved in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) remanufacturing implementation. One of the greatest challenges was to obtain sustainability through culture change.
