It was a pleasure to be in attendance and represent the APICS BCIT Student Chapter at the APICS summit, and listen to a lineup of speakers who carry a wealth of knowledge greatly relative to our studies as Business Operations Management students. The event was both a fantastic learning and networking opportunity.

As the school year is coming to a close - we wanted to take a moment to reflect on all the fun times we had.

We hosted 4 tours with SPUD.ca, London Drugs, Purdys Chocolatier and Lush Cosmetics North America. Each of these companies gave us a behind the scenes look at what challenges they are overcoming and innovations they have adapted to their businesses.

We attended numerous industry events, including RIchard Ranftl's presentation at APICS Fraser Valley Chapter.

Finally, our very own BCIT School of Business Business Operations Management students presented their award-winning projects which were hosted at Paris Orthotics, Electra Meccanica & SPUD.ca.

Congratulations on another successful year BCIT Business Operations Management Students!

Hello Everyone,

The London Drugs Tour on Oct 26rd has been rescheduled for Nov 23rd due to the timing conflict with the OpMan Student Night happening on the same evening.

Keep an eye for further notifications regarding this tour and for reserving a ticket to attend.

Thanks,
Varune.

Physically seeing the processing plant for London Drugs shows how product flow is optimized. Many of the concepts found in the classroom such as process flow-charts and order picking techniques can be observed and can complement your understanding of operations management techniques. Don't miss out on the chance to see the processing facility of a large retail store in action!

Time: October 26th @ 4:30pm
Only 30 tickets available.
