Members of the APICS Houston and other

general members are planning for the 2014

APICS International Conference in New

Orleans on Sunday, October 19 through

Tuesday, October 21.. The keynote speakers

include Mike Walsh, CEO of Tomorrow and

author of Futuretainmenet, and Peter Thum,

Founder of Ethos Water and Founder and

CEO of Fonderie 47.

Mike Walsh is globally renowned as an expert on future trends,

innovation, business growth and organizational transformation.

He takes an anthropological approach to the future, focusing on

emerging technologies and disruptive shifts in human behavior

and then translates these into pragmatic plans for better

business productivity.

Peter Thum transformed his desire to get clean water to families

in third-world countries into a successful social venture that

changed an industry, generated millions of dollars and improved

the lives of thousands. Currently, Thum is CEO and cofounder of

Fonderie 47, an organization that manufactures jewelry from

assault rifles sourced in war zones. To date, the company has

created jewelry from more than 34,000 rifles.

In addition, many of the APICS Houston Board of Directors will

attend the Terra Grande District meeting on Friday, October 17

and the Volunteer Workshop on Saturday, October 18. We hope

to see lots of APICS Houston members at the event.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MEETINGS

On Thursday, September 18, Troy E. Nehls will present “A view of

The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office and their ‘Business’

Management Philosophy”. The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office

has structured a management team philosophy to include a

more business minded approach in their day to day operations.

Several new programs include partnering with the United States

Marshall’s Office in housing federal prisoners in the Fort Bend

County Detention facility. Additionally, the Sheriff’s Office has

also reached out to the private sector seeking ways to reduce

operating costs while improving efficiency.

The Sheriff’s Office annual budget exceeds $60M dollars

employing over 750 personnel. According to Sheriff Nehls, “the

taxpayers of Fort Bend County expect their elected leaders to

properly manage their department budgets with fiscal

responsibility and transparency.” This presentation will take a

close look into how the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office

manages its personnel and resources. A top priority for Sheriff

Nehls is to improve the “dismal” crime solve rates in Fort Bend

County. He will share his approach and strategy on how crime

solved rates have drastically improved in Fort Bend County all

while reducing overtime. Sheriff Nehls will also discuss crime

trends within Fort Bend County and answer questions from the

audience.

In August, Niels Aalund presented “The Best Chapter for the

Texas Maritime Industry is Yet to Come”. The presentation will

share reasons why the Texas maritime industry has experienced

tremendous growth in all sectors. Neil discussed why Houston is

seen by many as the emerging center of influence for the

maritime industry in the Americas. He shared the positive market

place developments and industry trends that position the

Houston Ship Channel and the Texas for continued growth

perhaps at growth levels never seen before. This growth leads

many to believe “The best chapter for the Texas Maritime

Industry is yet to come”.

Highlights of his presentation were the exciting plans for the

Houston Maritime Museum. The Houston Maritime Museum

plans to raise $15 million to build a new museum at the Port of

Houston’s Turning Basin. The museum will be located next to the

port’s Houston ship channel tour vessel the M/V Sam Houston.

Plus, inside the museum will be a model of the Houston ship

channel which will be one of the many prime museum

attractions.

A Texas nonprofit corporation, West Gulf Maritime Association

was organized in early 1968 to bring together steamship owners,

operators, agents and stevedoring and terminal companies

located in ports from Brownsville, Texas to Lake Charles,

Louisiana. Operating through its member committees, the

Association negotiates and administers various labor

agreements with the International Longshoreman’s Association

in West Gulf ports and provides a forum for information

exchange between member companies concerning a wide

variety of industry issues and concerns.

PLANT TOURS

My message went to press before the September 8th Goodman

Manufacturing, Ltd. tour. However before the tour took place so

next month the tour will be featured.

For registration or more information on our events, visit our

website at www.apics-houston.org or contact Catherine Brown

at Programs@APICS-Houston.org.

APICS CLASSES

Our fall classes are starting and some classes are still open for

registration. Registrations are being accepted for our winter

classes as well. Demand for our CPIM classes has resulted and a

second, parallel Basics of Supply Chain class and could result in

parallel classes throughout the curriculum. Again, if you have

interest in registering for our classes, I highly suggest planning

ahead and registering early to ensure class availability.

Unfortunately, we continue to have to decline registrations when

our classes are full.

Our new class locations at Powell Industries and Houston Food

Bank locations are improving our educational reach to the

greater Houston community. To satisfy our customer needs, we

continue to add more locations and classes and are targeting

The Woodlands and Sugar Land for expansion.

Certification page in this newsletter or visit our website at

When people say, "my team," they mean it.

In the top-down world of industrial marketing, the San Francisco

49ers say, "we built this team, buy a ticket if you want to come."

Then, a few years later, it broadened to, "you should buy a jersey

so you can be part of it."

In the sideways, modern world of peer-to-peer connection, peo-ple say, "my team has this player, that player and this defense."

It belongs to them, because they built it. Everyone has their own

team.

In neither case is the fan on the field, getting concussed or mak-

ing the big decisions. It doesn't matter. What matters is that our

feeling of ownership, of us-ness, is shifting. We want celebrities

and brands and teams that do more than merely put on a show. In addition to the show, people want to believe that they own

part of it.

GO O D M A N FAC T O RY TO U R

On July 7, APICS launched certification verification, an online service available at apics.org/verification.

This new service elevates APICS certification programs and helps protect the credentials of all APICS designees.

Certification verification provides prospective employers and other stakeholders with a simple, easy way to verify an individ-

ual’s certification status. The search results will indicate whether an individual’s CPIM, CFPIM, CIRM or CSCP certification

status is active, suspended or expired.

A minimum of the first three letters of an individual’s last name is required for all searches. Users can then narrow their

search by location, type of certification and APICS ID. The results include the last name, first name, state, country and certi-

fication status of any individuals who have earned an APICS CPIM or CSCP designation. Designees with more than one cer-

tification appear in separate entries.

We are pleased to launch APICS certification verification as one of several ongoing enhancements to our certification pro-

grams. For more information, visit the certification FAQs page
