In addition, he will discuss the challenges facing the IoT-powered supply chain, the different tools and technologies making an impact today, and how to determine what sort of IoT solution is right for your supply chain.

BOMS Update

It’s been a busy summer, but classes and BOMS are both back in full swing.

As always, we’ve started off the semester with a professional development meeting focused on networking, which included a resume workshop and professional headshots.

In September we have two more meetings: September 12^th with Worthington Industries, and September 26^th with American Woodmark. October 3rd with DHL, Rockwell Automation on October 17th, Owens Corning on October 31st, and Marathon on November 7th. 

We’d like to invite you and the rest of the APICS board to these, and all of our meetings for the semester. This is set, with the only exception being Owens Corning potentially moving back a couple weeks depending on the availability of their presenters.

Thanks so much! Let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Joey Schrettner
