FRONT RANGE NEWS SEPTEMBER 2016 Advancing Productivity, Innovation and Competitive Success PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MEETING Wednesday Sep 14th, 2016 Price Change for Professional Development Meetings TOPIC: “Entrepreneur’s Journey” SPEAKER: Jake Jabs Location: Inverness Hotel Jake Jabs started American Furniture Warehouse (AFW) with one store in Denver, CO in 1975 and under his leadership AFW has expanded into a fourteen-store operation that has experienced a remarkable growth trend over the years. As he has been since the beginning, Jabs is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company and also oversees the company’s team of buyers. Today, American Furniture Warehouse is one of the top retail furniture companies in the U.S. and one of the largest privately-held businesses in Colorado. The self-taught businessman credits American Furniture’s success to “the basic American philosophy of hard work, long hours, self-confidence, the courage to take risks, and the desire to give value and service to every customer." The fourth of nine children, Jabs was born and raised in rural Montana, and his parents were immigrants from Russia and Poland who fled communism. Jabs’ credits his family for providing him a strong work ethic, a sense of family, a love of music and a love of freedom we have in America. In fact, this long-time musician’s entrepreneurial career began by teaching guitar and starting a music store in Bozeman, MT. He started to add furniture to his music store and determined everybody needed furniture and not a guitar! Jabs’ served as an officer in the Air Force and has traveled throughout more than 50 countries and has made a lifelong study of various forms of government and business. He often speaks to high school and college students on topics such as the basics of business and the keys to success. In addition, he has written numerous articles, including "Free Enterprise and the Land of Opportunity" and "We Must Save Small Business," as well as articles on Russia and Poland. His autobiography, "An American Tiger," was published in 2000 and his latest book “Thriving in Tough Times” published in 2011 are available online at www.afwonline.com, Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook, or any of American Furniture Warehouse locations. After six years it is time to raise the price of the PDMs. This is still a great deal of a 3-course meal and drink. Thanks to the Education Department in subsidizing the meetings. Members will now pay $30 and Non-Members will pay $38.

Transportation and distribution providers have been busy delivering students’ back to school materials everywhere we want them to be again this year. What about the youth that you know? Were the correct selections of school supplies available in the shopping locations that you frequent? Did the new school clothes, shoes and youth sporting equipment make their way to the stores closest to you? Thanks to good forecasting and planning and well executed operations processes, we have come to expect that what we need will be right where we want to find it. As operations professionals, we know the challenges behind the store-front to execute the supply plan as a well-oiled machine! The new APICS Certification in Logistics, Transportation and Logistics, CLTD, emphasizes this relevancy in managing your physical supply chain. Be sure to check out the schedule of the new CLTD courses in the newsletter and join us in class soon! I hope you are able to take advantage of the variety of learning opportunities offered by the Colorado APICS Chapter and I look forward to greeting you at a professional development meeting, a plant tour or networking event this year.

If you have questions or comments you can contact me, VP of Education, at 303-271-1818 x105 or [email protected] “The APICS CPIM classed taught by the APICS Colorado Chapter 81 were outstanding. Very well thought out from how the classroom is set up to help people become engaged and to stay engaged during the class, to bringing in specific instructors who specialize in specific topics, makes this a fantastic learning environment. I believe I will have the competitive advantage when taking what I have learned from the classes and applying it to my career.” Michael Hansen, Supply Chain Management, Air Methods “I enjoyed taking the CPIM classes through the local APICS Colorado Chapter 81. They offered me the knowledge to pass the CPIM exam, and the tools to think strategically in my career. The instructors, as well as the students, had knowledge in a breadth of industries allowing for real world examples to link textbook material to reality. There is no doubt the APICS classes will enable me to advance my career in the supply chain industry.” Wynne Adams, CPIM, S&OP Demand Planner, Boulder Brands 3 Welcome to 2016 Fall Courses Please complete your registration early.

As a professional in the supply chain world, I was able to immediately apply a number of the topics presented by APICS to our day-to-day activities. APICS has set me apart from my peers, as I am now able to present ideas and tactics that are not readily understood by everyone. I am grateful for the knowledge I have received and am excited of the possibilities going forward” Dan Clement, Distribution Center Manger, Brewers Supply ”The APICS classes were the best way I could have studied for the CPIM testing. They were very convenient to take while I worked, even during the busy part of the year. Eight hour classes may seem like a lot on a Saturday but the instructors are so energetic and dedicated to you understanding the material that the time flies by. By the end of each class I had a brand new understanding of concepts I wasn’t able to grasp by just using the study material alone. One of the coolest aspects of APICS was the community. The classroom consisted of peers from all different walks of life and job perspectives and the out of classroom activities introduced me to even more people of the APICS community.“ Aaron Littlefield, Manufacturing Engineer, Stolle Machinery Co. “As a young professional looking for a way to further my career and knowledge of Supply Chain, I found these classes from the local APICS Colorado Chapter. The instructors are very experienced in the supply chain industry and teach in a way that makes the material easy to understand and fun to learn. The classes have helped me in my current job complete projects with confidence. There were also great students that helped me learn from their experiences as well as build many friendships. I would highly recommend these courses to anyone new to the supply chain industry, or even those that have been in the industry for a while, anyone who deals with the supply chain of a company. It will help tremendously. I plan on getting the CSCP certification in the future and will take the classes from these instructors, there’s just no other way.” Joseph McQueen, CPIM, Supply Chain Analyst, Charter Communications “I have been working in manufacturing since the early 1980s. Since the mid-1990s I have intended to get my CPIM designation but have never found the time or proper study methods that would give me the confidence to take the test. I attended the Spring 2016 CPIM classes provided by APICS Colorado Chapter 81 and found the classes, study materials, and instructors to be first rate. In July I received my CPIM certificate and I only regret not doing it years earlier. Even though my jobs never “required” this certification I cannot think of any of these jobs I would not have been better at, advanced quicker and just been a more valuable employee had I acquired this knowledge sooner. In addition, the people that I met in class and the experiences they shared only served to make this that much more of an enriching experience.” Ken Fiore, CPIM, Warehouse Manager, Spark Home Colorado APICS Education…Real People, Real Results!! 6 Colorado APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) Program CSCP Learning System Components: The CSCP Learning System is a comprehensive professional development program that will help candidates prepare for the CSCP examination.

Retakes are $450 “Attending the 5 day CSCP course conducted Colorado APICS is highly recommended for anyone preparing to take the APICS CSCP exam. Their knowledge and work related experience in the Global Supply Chain industry was a great help in teaching the concepts in a fun and enjoyable learning setting. There is so much information to study, without this class it would be an overwhelming task to complete on an independent level.” Stephen Robles C.P.M, CPIM, CSCP, Director of Materials & Warehouse Operations If you have interest in this program, you can contact Karla Biggs-Gregory at 303-334-6971 / [email protected] or Roger Harris at (303) 271-1818 / [email protected] 7 Colorado APICS Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) Program Accelerated CPIM Classes at AT&T/DirecTV Complete all 5 courses by Feb. 2017 Held Saturdays from 8 am until 5 pm (1 hour lunch)___________________________ Basics of Supply Chain Management (Sept. 10, 17 & 24 (½ day)) Master Planning of Resources (Oct. 15 & 22, 2016) Detailed Planning and Scheduling (Nov. 12 & 19, 2016) Execution and Control of Operations Strategic Management of Resources (Dec. 10 & 17, 2016) (Jan. 7 & 14, 2017) Celebrating 55 Years of Excellence!

By Roger Harris Over the past three years, MillerCoors has had a “Thirst for Learning” according to one MillerCoors Executive. Over the past 3 years MillerCoors has encouraged over 120 supply chain professionals to participate in CPIM, CSCP and CLTD APICS certifications, and combined, they have spent 1000’s of hours improving their knowledge of Supply Chain Management. Matt Williams, CSCP, Supply Chain Planning Director for MillerCoors is a major supporter of APICS Colorado and our APICS education and the rainmaker for improvement in the Supply Chain. Matt agreed to allow me to interview him about what the APICS Colorado Chapter programs and APICS Education and Certification are doing to help their Supply Chain professionals at MillerCoors. I want to thank Matt for his time and effort in this interview as well as his commitment to APICS and Excellence in the Supply Chain Management, as well as his commitment to the concept of life-long learning. I met Matt about 11 years ago and have gotten the opportunity to know him over the years. Take a look at what Matt has to say about what he is receiving and expects to receive from APICS programs. Roger: How many years have you been at Coors? Matt: I have been at MillerCoors for 21 years. Roger: What positions have you held in your 21 years at MillerCoors? Matt: I have held 5 or 6 positions over the years, I have been in beer supply and packaging, I started in brewing planning. Roger: How many years have you been an APICS Member? Matt: I have been a member of the Colorado Chapter for 11 years. Roger: What APICS Certifications do you hold? Matt: CSCP, Certified Supply Chain Professional. Roger: What does your management think of APICS? Matt: Our Chief Supply Chain Officer is very supportive, he sends a personal note to each person that completes an APICS Certification! Roger: Many MillerCoors folks attend APICS Colorado dinner meetings each month and/or our tours, what do you think you gain from that? Matt: It gives us a chance to connect with other supply chain professionals, helps people get out of their shell and helps us to benchmark against other companies’ supply chain processes. Roger: Has APICS networking helped you to find new folks to hire? Matt: Yes, good talent is hard to find and we really like to find folks with APICS experience or education. We hired a professional that I met at one of your spring dinner meetings. Roger: Have APICS Education or certification helped YOU in your job/career? 9 Matt: Yes, the CSCP program and the CPIM courses helped me with knowledge of additional concepts that I was not familiar with. Roger: How has APICS Education helped? Matt: 120+ professionals have earned or are in the process of becoming certified in CSCP, CPIM or CLTD, and this education is helping us to better speak the same supply chain language. It is helping both mature professionals and the younger workforce, both formally and informally. Roger: You participated in all 5 of the CPIM courses, what areas of that program helped you? Matt: Yes, it helped me with some areas like Capacity Management where I wanted to increase my knowledge. Roger: What Areas of CSCP have helped MillerCoors and why? Matt: As I said, it is helping both mature and new professionals at MillerCoors. CSCP is helping us to align with industry standards. CSCP is helping us with inventory management and capacity management and is helping us prepare and build a foundation for our upcoming ERP implementation and allowing us to share the same language. This language also extends to our 100’s of MillerCoors distributors and is helping us communicate better with them. Roger: What Benefits has MillerCoors and/or you personally gained by being involved with APICS? Matt: In addition to the things we have talked about, I think that we get a lot out of the APICS plant tours that the Colorado Chapter offers. I think we learn a lot seeing how folks conduct their plant and supply chain activities. I especially liked the Leprino Foods and FedEx tours. Roger: What incentives are you using to get folks to spend time on the APICS certifications? Matt: We are getting really good commitment from the folks we let into our APICS certification programs. We commit to them that we will pay for it and we will give them company time to complete study sessions and they must study further on their own time and complete the exam. Some of the incentive has been peer pressure because they realize the company values the certifications and effort it takes to get them. This is one attribute we look at when evaluating folks for job promotions. Roger: What do your folks and you think of the new CLTD program? Matt: Too early to tell, we have 14 people signed up but have just now begun to look at the material, so far it looks good. Roger: What areas do you think APICS can improve the CPIM, CSCP or CLDT? Matt: The Colorado Chapter has been great to work with. A suggestion for the CPIM and CSCP programs would be to tighten them up a little. That is, to be a little more concise and not repeat the same concepts. Roger: You have sent several folks through APICS CPIM, CSCP and CLDT programs, what do you hope are the benefits? Matt: I believe there are three areas of concern in a supply chain; People, Processes and Systems. APICS programs can help us with all three areas. We want to be ready for our ERP Go-live and these programs will help us with our transformation, they help us understand the ERP language, we can pay now or later for this knowledge. We are expecting better forecast accuracy and better coordination with our distributors. For example, we now stock more inventory at distributors that have less accurate forecasts. We hope to be able to better link Sales and Operations Planning for multiple supply chain players from Suppliers to Customers. Roger: Are there specific areas of improvement that MillerCoors is seeing? Matt: Yes, some of the areas I have already mentioned, but we are also seeing some intangible successes. Being involved in APICS is helping our folks see they have a career path in supply chain management. They see that supply chain management is bigger and more involved than they think. We are getting great commitment from our folks and it is really defining supply chain as a profession in our company. Roger: Thank you very much for your time today, please let me know of anything APICS Colorado can do for MillerCoors. Matt: Thank you for your support of APICS and MillerCoors. © 2016 Roger Harris All rights reserved 10 SOCIAL REPONSIBILITY: APICS COLORADO CHAPTER 81 IN THE COMMUNITY! First of all, a big thanks to all those who helped with the cleanup! Our Adopt-A-Highway Clean Up Crew… Honey Johnson, Roger Harris, Lois Adlfinger, Jamie Swan, Chris Tomlin, Michael Hansen, Ken Fiore, Evan Beggs, Tony Schulhoff, Dave Carrier, Kristen Schulhoff, Anna Schulhoff, Nick Schulhoff, Fritz Allison, Jennifer Allison As many of you know, our stretch of road is both sides of I-70 from just before the Genesee Park exit to just after the Evergreen exit. It includes the buffalo and truck pullout and 10 entrances or exits to the freeway. It is a beautiful stretch of highway with high and low, and near and far mountain views. Each time we have a cleanup, it disgusts me that we have people living among us that are pigs. Below is a partial list of some of the things we found. Some items can be explained as they were from accidents or could have easily blown out of cars but much of this stuff was thrown out of passing vehicles. As you might expect water bottles are the most popular item to throw out your car window in the mountains. Beer bottles/Cans (sometimes whole 12 or 6 packs) Pop Bottles/Cans Wine Bottles Liquor mini bottles Plastic bags Fast food cups, wrappers and bags Cigarette packs Parts from car accidents: bumpers, glass lights, plastic, tires, etc. Semi-Truck parts (regulators, oil filters, etc.) Oil bottles Styrofoam (everything you can think of) Boxes Tie downs Sleeping bag covers Hubcaps Mud flaps Tire chains And last but not least: Carpeting Potbags pipes Fulltrash Syringes Bottles of Urine Gloves Shoes/Boots Hats Shirts and Pants Pinwheels Towels Diapers Broken tape measures Milk bottles Straws Used packs of Catsup/Mustard Flags Blankets Broken Glass Chewing Tobacco Cans Bear Carcass (yes, a bear carcass…) Deer and Elk Bones Many more items were found. Our state is a beautiful place and we are privileged to live here, please remind your friends and neighbors to not throw trash on our highways.
