Panasonic is creating a platform to manage all of this data, and to deliver an

‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) approach that will greatly advance safety and efficiency on the roadway. Through partnerships with Colorado and other state

Departments of Transportation, as well as cities, automakers and other partners, Panasonic is leading the effort to transform connected vehicle technology. This

approach will produce a new paradigm in the effective, safe use of today’s roadways, and pave the way for autonomous vehicles in the future.

Kellen Pucher is the Director of Strategic Initiatives for Smart Mobility within Panasonic North America. He studied Biological Psychology and Neuroscience at

Miami University and began his career in commercial analytical sciences and biotechnology. Continuing his passion for technology, he worked for Level 3

Communications leading to the 2017 acquisition by Century Link. This combined

background in science and communications prepared him for a position in Smart Mobility and Connected Vehicles (V2X) at Panasonic. Kellen and his team are

driven to create systems which will save lives through the reduction of traffic crashes and produce a scalable decrease in traffic congestion. These platforms

will empower roadway operators with improved situational awareness, as well as predictive and responsive capabilities unlocked by big data. Kellen also

believes that Panasonic’s V2X platform will pave the way for cooperative, safer

deployments of autonomous vehicles in the future

Save Lives! Reduce Crashes! Decrease Congestion…Learn How!

Topic and Speaker: Today’s vehicles come with a

suite of onboard sensors and advanced software which

creates powerful, real-time data about the vehicle and surrounding environment. Soon, these vehicles will

also come with communications systems which enable them to relay this data to other vehicles and the

transportation network – all at ten times per second.

EXICTING NEWS! THE FRONT RANGE NEWS IS GOING PAPERLESS! Beginning with the Fall APICS calendar year the Front Range News will be published electronically only. We will no longer be mailing hard copies of the Front Range News starting in August 2019. Our latest member survey asked how you prefer to get

the Front Range News and you overwhelmingly said “online”. We listened. It’s the right thing to do for a number of reasons, it’s

environmentally friendly, allows us to provide information in a more timely fashion and allows you to access the Front Range News when and where it’s most convenient for you.

Coaches Corner, continued

To help to make this a smooth transition we’re asking you to ensure we have your correct email address. If you are already

getting the Front Range News delivered in your inbox there’s nothing you need to do. If you are not receiving the newsletter

via email go to https://www.apics.org/customerservice/myapics/profile to update your information. Then just remember to check your inbox for the latest News, Events, Education and Membership information. Of course, you can always get the

Newsletter at https://www.apicscolorado.org Please let us know if you are not getting it in April or May.

We have just two more Professional Development meetings, an S&OP Seminar and one tour before our APICS FY ends

6/30/19. Hope to see you at one of these events! Please let me know if you have questions or need something from the Chapter.

“I’d like to thank Roger Harris and Honey Johnson for their outstanding effort in delivering the APICS CPIM classes.

Their presentation and materials go beyond what I would have ever received without them and definitely contributed to my

passing both Part 1 and Part 2 CPIM exams. On a final note, both Roger and Honey made the classes fun and interesting, adding much color to the class materials. Many Thanks to you both!” Jeff Lane, CPIM, Chief Information Officer, ADA Carbon

Solutions

”The APICS classes were the best way I could have studied for the CPIM testing. They were very convenient to

take while I worked, even during the busy part of the year. Eight hour classes may seem like a lot on a Saturday but the

instructors are so energetic and dedicated to you understanding the material that the time flies by. By the end of each class I had a brand new understanding of concepts I wasn’t able to grasp by just using the study material alone. One of the coolest

aspects of APICS was the community. The classroom consisted of peers from all different walks of life and job perspectives and the out of classroom activities introduced me to even more people of the APICS community.“ Aaron Littlefield,

Manufacturing Engineer, Stolle Machinery Co

“As both a career advancement tool or a current state of "best in class" refresher, CLTD is a must have for industry participants When enrolled in the CLTD training course, the participants can easily attain a more complete understanding of the material and experience that "Aha" moment again and again by applying real world examples to the course material.” Christopher “Kit” Childers, CLTD, Supply Chain Professional

"In August and September of this year I was privileged to be include in the first class for the APICS Certification in Logistics, Distribution and Transportation in Denver Colorado. This class was my introduction to this discipline. The instructors were knowledgeable, helpful and dedicated in getting the subject matter across not just to pass an exam but on how to use this information to improve a business. Even though this is the first of its kind class in Colorado and was also pretty much my introduction to Logistics, Distribution and Transportation it provided me the knowledge and insight to pass the certification exam on my first try.” Ken Fiore, CPIM, CLTD, Operations Manager, Custom Stone Etching, LLC.

What are Students saying about APICS Education in Colorado?

“While I attended APICS classes, I was quick to realize the valuable resources being introduced. As a professional in

the supply chain world, I was able to immediately apply a number of the topics presented by APICS to our day-to-day

activities. APICS has set me apart from my peers, as I am now able to present ideas and tactics that are not readily understood by everyone. I am grateful for the knowledge I have received and am excited of the possibilities going forward” Dan Clement,

CPIM, Distribution Center Manger, Brewers Supply

“This (CSCP) class and certification will be useful to me both in my current role as a production planner, as well

as in any future opportunities to increase efficiency and improve the bottom line in all aspects of supply chain!” Maelle Mann,

CSCP, Production Planner, Keysight Technologies

“By expanding my knowledge into areas where I have little experience will help turn my company into best in

class.” Trevor Daly, CSCP, Dish Network

“As a young professional looking for a way to further my career and knowledge of Supply Chain, I found these

classes from the local APICS Colorado Chapter. The instructors are very experienced in the supply chain industry and teach in a

way that makes the material easy to understand and fun to learn. The classes have helped me in my current job complete

projects with confidence. There were also great students that helped me learn from their experiences as well as build many

friendships. I would highly recommend these courses to anyone new to the supply chain industry, or even those that have been

in the industry for a while, anyone who deals with the supply chain of a company. It will help tremendously. I plan on getting

the CSCP certification in the future and will take the classes from these instructors, there’s just no other way.” Joseph

McQueen, CPIM, Sr. Supply Chain Analyst, Charter Communications

“The APICS CPIM classed taught by the APICS Colorado Chapter 81 was outstanding. The knowledge the

instructors bring to each class made understanding the material very easy. Every detail has been thought through from how

the classroom is set up to help people become engaged and to stay engaged during the class, to bringing in specific instructors who specialize in specific topics, makes this a fantastic learning environment. I believe I will have the competitive advantage

when taking what I have learned from the classes and applying it to my career.” Mike Hansen, Supply Chain Professional, Air Methods

The Membership Spotlight

This month’s Membership Spotlight is on Terri Kindsfather, CPIM, CPPO, CPPB. Terri has been an APICS member for over 37 years and is a highly valued member of our chapter. Read below to discover more about Terri!

How did you first get involved with APICS? In 1981, I accepted a position as a scheduler for a manufacturing company. My foray into the world of operations had begun. Within a week, the Kardex girl quit and I was “selected” as her replacement. In 1982, I joined APICS Colorado Chapter 81 and began taking classes. Yes, I’ve known Roger Harris for a long time! What have you found most enjoyable about being an APICS member? I’ve been in the procurement/operations management field for 38 years-19 in private sector and 19 in public sector. Achieving my CPIM was important and provided a pathway to ever increasing responsibility. In 1990, I received my B. S. in Business Administration, emphasis in Operations Management, from the University of Colorado at Denver. I also hold the CPPB (Certified Public Procurement Buyer) and CPPO (Certified Public Procurement Officer) certifications through the UPPCC. I now work in the public sector as the Purchasing/Mailroom Supervisor for the City of Lakewood. I continue to participate in APICS, ISM, RMGPA and NIGP (acronyms everywhere…) and use my knowledge of operations, supply chain and procurement every day. How do you fill your free time (hobbies, family, etc.)? My husband, Steve, and I are Master scuba divers and world travelers - around 50 countries so far. Our latest excursion was enjoying three amazing weeks exploring China and Tibet, what an experience! Our next destination is yet to be determined. (My vote is for Iceland.)

APRIL MEMBERSHIP NEWS It’s officially Spring and thank goodness, what a Winter we’ve had! As Spring begins to show its beauty, we start planning for the annual cleaning to get everything tidied up and organized for the warm months ahead.

Here are a few quick tips on tidying up your membership profile: 1. Check up on your membership renewal date – if it is within 60 days, it is time to renew 2. Update your profile – verify that your personal information and user preferences are up to date 3. Certification Maintenance – take some time to compile the certification maintenance points you’ve earned in the past year

Please keep reading to virtually meet this month’s chapter member in the spotlight!

Last, I encourage you to take a few minutes to log into your profile on the APICS corporate website (www.apics.org) and review your membership status. If your membership expiration date is within a couple of months, it is time to renew. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for assistance in getting you or your company’s memberships renewed through APICS Corporate. Best Regards,

Evan Beggs, CLTD, CPIM, CMfgE

You are all invited to the tour of Swisslog Healthcare. The last time APICS toured Swisslog was 2009, since then the company

has moved locations and made significant changes in technology, production and supply chain management. And they had just finished sending many of their employees through CPIM classes. They had begun to implement changes to production and

upgrading their supply chain from the lessons learned from class. Now we will get to see what a decade of applying CPIM and other APICS certifications has on an operation.
