Hi, My name is Linda Thornell.  APICS, The Educational Society for Resource Management, certifies me at the Fellow level, which is pretty exciting to me.  I have been teaching at Weber State University since it began this partnership with APICS in 1987. I really enjoy teaching these courses and hope that you can feel the excitement and relevance of the material that is presented.
My goal is to help you prepare for the international certification exam administered by APICS and to learn some techniques that you can apply in your work environment. But I also hope that you enjoy this experience enough that you develop a desire to continually learn about production and inventory management. I really believe that the process lasts your entire life. And, as with any other aspects in education, you will also be exposed to concepts that relate to the non-business aspects of your life.
