APICS Dictionary Word of the Week

activity-based planning (ABP)

In activity-based cost accounting, a continuing definition of activity and resource requirements (for both financial and operational systems) based on future demand for products or services by specific customer needs. Demand for resources is related to resource availability; capacity overages and shortfalls are corrected. Activity-based budgeting is derived from the outputs of ABP.

President's Message:

   
  We hope you are getting ready for the holidays, which are already almost upon us! Over the next several months, PAN APICS is hosting several events that should be exciting for our members. First off, on December 12, we are hosting a networking event at the Great American Pub in Conshohocken, PA where we will also make time to review our upcoming courses, explain the CPIM changes, the new CLTD certification, and the CSCP. We hope you will join us for free food and a cash bar at this event, register here!

  On January 18, we will be hosting an exclusive, behind the scenes tour at the Philadelphia Distilling Company, the first Pennsylvania craft distillery since Prohibition, located just northwest of the Sugarhouse Casino in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia. Enrollment is limited for this tour, so sign up today here!

We also encourage you to check out our suite of class offerings this spring. Beginning in January, we are offering several courses to help you obtain your CSCP, CPIM, and CLTD. We are offering Early Bird Specials for those who sign up before December 15th! You can review all of our offerings here.

  We would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and hope to see you soon!

Sincerely,
  Dale McClung
