The American Production/Inventory Control Society (APICS) is part of the Association of Supply Chain Management, and a provider of research, education and certification programs. At APICS, we know that there’s more to supply chain than management, more to performance than process and more to people than position descriptions. The world of supply chain management never stops advancing — and neither should supply chain professionals or their organizations. Wrapping the world, supply chains both enable and inspire human and economic possibility. However, to reach their potential they require savvy operators, supervisors and leaders with the necessary knowledge and know-how. APICS fills this gap. We’re known for our ability to develop supply chain talent and elevate end-to-end supply chain performance. Nobody does this better than we do. From education and certification to benchmarking and best practices, APICS sets the industry standard. We are essential partners in transforming the way people do business, drive growth, and reach global customers.It’s complex and it’s simple. We develop people, people improve supply chains, supply chains improve companies and the whole world economy benefits. Together with our members, partners and customers, we are united in our commitment to global supply chain excellence, innovation and resilience — achieved one person and one supply chain at a time.

Culture is what turns improvement into impact. We have worked that way since 1985. Kaizen Institute was founded by Masaaki Imai, the father of KAIZEN™, and pioneered Continuous Improvement and Lean Management as a discipline. Today, more than 800 consultants work across 60+ countries, in manufacturing, healthcare, services, and public institutions. We think strategically and work hands-on. Our consultants stand alongside client teams at Gemba, where the work actually happens, because lasting change is built with the people who do the job at every level of the organization. The work shows up in the numbers: costs down, productivity up, quality better. Every engagement is shaped around the client's own problems rather than a standard package. We measure ourselves on what remains after we leave. Quick wins come first, then the harder part: teams with the capability to keep improving on their own, long after the project closes. We hold our own organization to the same standard. The way we work is under constant revision, just as we ask of our clients. Check more at kaizen.com
