to understand the philosophies and
changes required for just -in -time or

business philosophies. The Japanese
have proven that this philosophy works
very well in today's manufacturing envi-
ronment. This course will start practition-
ers towards understanding and applying
stockless production/zero inventory
concepts.
APICS/CAPIC feel strongly that changes
in basic business philosophy such as
stockless production are necessary in
order for North American companies to
continue to grow and prosper in world
markets.
