What you're describing is part of my job, and I work in a manufacturing facility. This book (get a used copy cheap) will give you a better understanding of what it's all about, and an APICS certification will validate your knowledge, if you want to spend the time and money to achieve that.

You'll probably want to read the book twice to really get a feel for it. Someone once said to me that "Orlicky took a simple concept and made it complicated."

Don’t forget LinkedIn

That’s a job site? I’ve been receiving emails from them and thought it was some kind of marketing ploy. Never read it but know I didn’t sign up to receive their emails. I’ll have to remove them from my ‘blocked’ list now. Can you explain a little more how this works?

Thx
