Roger & Honey do a fantastic job of giving real life examples of thetopics discussed, which can be extremely useful in some of the broader subjects like the ones found in SMR, that aren't asstraight forward on paper as some of the other topics. They also are very good about hitting the highlights and main pointswithin each topic, which really helps breakdown and digest the material better." Carter Henderson, CPIM, Demand Planner& S&OP Process Manager, Innospec, Inc.“I’d like to thank Roger Harris and Honey Johnson for their outstanding effort in delivering the APICS CPIM classes. Theirpresentation and materials go beyond what I would have ever received without them and definitely contributed to my passingboth Part 1 and Part 2 CPIM exams. On a final note, both Roger and Honey made the classes fun and interesting, adding muchcolor to the class materials” Jeff Lane, CPIM, Operations, Supply Chain & Information Systems Professional7
