What is C-BAR?
C-BAR stands for Chapter Benchmarking And Reporting
Represents actions recommended by APICS to be accomplished by a chapter to be considered highly successful
Prerequisite of C-BAR
Must be in compliance with CPA Requirements
Prerequisite of C-BAR
And guess what, every chapter in this District met the CPA Requirements
So every chapter is eligible to take part!
Why Do C-BAR?
Identifies areas to incorporate into strategic plan/marketing plan
Demonstrates continuous improvement
Provides meaningful metrics and measurements
Helps the chapter become more successful!
Identify areas to incorporate into strategic plan
Example: last year chapter did not meet PDM attendance goal
You know that because C-BAR (section C) asks if you met your goalSo you must set one!
In this year’s strategic plan, the board develops ideas to meet their goal and documents those actions
This activity helps the board brainstorm ideas and try new things.
Demonstrates continuous improvement
Example: last year a chapter worked through C-BAR and achieve bronzestatus
The board is now aware of the requirements and put actions in place toachieve enough points to get to a silver level
This activity shows, in a numerical way, continuous improvement
By the way, we have chapters in this district that did work the C-BARworksheet and did not achieve even a bronze level. But they had done the same thing last year and showed improvement year over year
Provides metrics and measurements Example: each section has measurements a chapter can use:
How many e-mail letters of introduction, brochures, flyers, or informationPackets has the chapter prepared? (Section A)
How many separate announcements to your members concerning PDM’sClasses, seminars, etc. did the chapter complete (Section B)
How many times did the chapter conduct a joint networking session (Section C)
Did the chapter formally recognize at least one instructor during the past Year (Section D)
