APICS OKC Scholarship Recipients Announced at OSU

The School of Industrial Engineering & Management

awarded their first APICS OKC Scholarship since form-

ing the student chapter earlier this year. Receiving the

scholarship were Swaraj Meher (not pictured), Kartik

Josyla (above left photo), and Kunal Bhosale (above

right photo). Pictured with the recipients are Dr. Tieming

Liu, faculty advisor for the OSU student chapter, and Dr

Sunderesh Heragu, Head of the School of Industrial En-

gineering & Management.

The recipients were chosen not only for their scholastic

ability, but also for their enthusiastic participation in all

activities of the student chapter since its inception. Each

of them also serves on the board of directors for the

coming school year. These three gentlemen were also the first-place team at our student case study competition held in April

at the UCO Business College. All three are also working on their APICS Certified in Production and Inventory Management

(CPIM) while working on graduate degrees.

Our chapter provides annual scholarship funds to the three Oklahoma Universities with active APICS student chapters.

UCO announced their recipient in April. OU typically announces their selections in the Fall, so watch for those announce-

ments later this year.

Our Newest CPIM We are very pleased to announce

that Sudhir Goel of Terex complet-

ed all requirements for award of

the APICS Certified in Production

and Inventory Management

(CPIM) credential in July.

Sudhir is a Terex Corporate em-

ployee, and works as a Senior

Systems Architect. He has worked

internationally (U.K.) and in multi-

ple locations in the United States.

He will be in Oklahoma City for

approximately one more year be-

fore being reassigned, possibly

back to his corporate office in Dal-

las.

UCO Student Selected for APICS Scholars Educa-

tion Program

To develop future supply chain leaders, APICS offers a select group of graduate and under-

graduate student members free admittance to the annual APICS International Confer-

ence through the Scholars Education Program. At the event, students explore careers in

supply chain management by attending educational sessions, meeting professionals in their

field, attending networking events and participating in a career fair.

We are proud to announce that Tracy Hope, President of the University of Central Oklaho-

ma Student Chapter, was selected as one of only 53 APICS Scholars from among hun-

dreds of applicants.

Aside from the opportunity to experience the conference and network with supply chain

professionals, scholars receive the following benefits:

• Complimentary conference registration (San Antonio for 2017)

• Hotel accommodations

• $200 travel stipend

• A professional APICS member as a mentor

• Networking events

• Conference-geared student programs like the Think Tank, Poster Session, & Volunteer Leadership Workshop student tracks

Tracy is also actively pursuing her CPIM, as well as interning at Maxcess International in Edmond. Please join us in congratulating

Tracy for her accomplishments, and if you’re at the conference in San Antonio, be looking for her at the student poster display area

near the Expo Hall.

Taylor Valve Technology Hosts Basics of Supply

Chain Management Class

Employees from Taylor Valve Technology (TVT) re-

cently completed the APICS Basics of Supply Chain

Management (BSCM) course. Senior leaders at TVT

chose to hold a private class for their employees so

they could learn APICS best practices while discuss-

ing in class how to apply these practices to their sup-

ply chain processes.

Pictured above are (L to R): Jerico Morgan, Bonnie

Sharon, Philip Maxwell, Steve Bowers, Eddie Loomis,

and Jennifer Jensen.

Please join us in congratulating these students for

their accomplishment.

How can my company host a private class, you may ask?

Just give our VP of Education an idea of when you'd like to host a class of your own, and we’ll work out a mutually agreeable sched-

ule. Please send an email with your request to ChapterVPEd@apics-okc.org.
