Looking for APO training in Detroit area or online

Hello.
I am brand new to SAP, and hoping to learn APO and combine it with my profesisonal experience for a new career direction. I have included a brief summary of my experience and education at the end of this post.
I am looking for a quality online /eLearning course for APO or a live course in the Detroit area to supplement my official SAP Education USA courses. I am much in need of SAP system access / lab setting for practicing etc.
I have taken SAP01 through SAP Education USA, and scheduled for:
SCM130     SAP R/3 Planning and Manufacturing Overview
SCM200     Business Processes in Planning (SCM)
Thank you,
Brian
Brief background:
*Brand new to SAP, and not currently working with it
*Experienced Supply Chain / manufacturing professional, exculsively in a Big Three automotive company (non-manager)
*MBA, (Supply Chain Management concentration)
*MS, Information Technology Management
*Process experience in EDI, JIT, lean, planning, forecasting, scheduling, material releasing
*Cross functional experience in logistics, purchasing, sales and marketing (demand and volume planning)
*Excellent system / technology skills including experience with i2 Integrated Volume Planning (IVP) and Gateline Optimization Product (GOP)

Hi Brian,
               It is unfortunate but there are no real reliable people for teaching particularly APO. The best bet I would say is sap itself. It is worth every penny. I searched for people all over US and burnt my hands few places as well as they took money but did not teach even what they said.  APO itself if fairly new and very few people expertise in it.
Read the material first before going to the certification. I am sure with your background, you should be able to grab the topics fairly easily.I think the only uphill task for you is to understand how SAP deal with the supply chain not understanding the topics of SCM.
All the best.

  • Electrical Engineer with automated test experience looking for job in San Antonio Area

    I am an Electrical Engineer with 33 years of experience. Much of my experience involves computer programming with an emphasis on electrical systems, either controlling equipment or automated testing. I have experience in numerous languages, most recently LabView, LabWindows/CVI, and TestStand, but also including 'C', Visual Basic, FORTRAN, and Z80 assembler. I have most recently worked in the MS Windows environment, but I have worked in the UNIX environment as well.
    In addition to programming I have done some hardware design and equipment specification. I have done drafting of schematics in Visio, but I also have some experience with AutoCAD. I have written user's manuals and done hardware/software integration. I feel I have a broad range of experience in many areas of engineering and programming. I also feel that my engineering background helps be to understand the needs of the customer and thus be better able to translate those needs into the control or test program they need.
    I currently live in San Antonio, Texas and am looking for a job in this area. A job on the south side of Austin might be considered if I could tele-commute or work in my home with occasional trips, eg. weekly, to Austin.

This code is used as the centerpiece for Test & Measurement systems that span most industries including military/aerospace, biomedical, semiconductor, automotive and telecom.
    Candidate will handle LabView integration projects from beginning to end. Will work closely with customers to understand requirements, participate in bid process, manage timelines on projects, perform LabView programming, and handle customer questions and concerns. The position requires 60% programming, 20% hardware design and test, 20% customer interface and project management. Prefer candidates with 7 to 10 years of LabView programming experience.
    Ability to get a DoD security clearance required.

    Ah, thanks. Goes to show how carefully I look at keyboards these days...
    So Opt(alt) on the Mac should map to Alt on PC.
    It would actually be helpful if the OP told us waht the shortcuts were meant to do...
    And there's always the help files. A complete list of default shortcusts is at http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html

  • What to look for a trainer?

      Some questions for you guys here.  I been working in IT for almost 10 years now.  The current role require me to be technically competent to handle migration projects (Windows 2008/Active Directory).
       The good thing is i am encouraged to take up related courses which would be fully sponsored by my employer.  The challenging part for me i think is looking for the right trainer.
    I was quoted with a trainer which has no working experience. But well equipped with technical certificates.  My question is how relevant are these trainers in regard to real production environment?
       Or Microsoft trainer program which they do have attended, are enough to justify their capabilities ?  Mind that their students are the experienced IT personnel which may not be the best in what they do, but they do what they need to do.
      This is just my thoughts.

    I was quoted with a trainer which has no working experience. But well equipped with technical certificates.  My question is how relevant are these trainers in regard to real production environment?
    The answer is you really don't know.  
    Or Microsoft trainer program which they do have attended, are enough to justify their capabilities ?
    Here is how to become a Microsoft Certified Trainer:-
    https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-gb/mct-certification.aspx
    (I inspected the above link by using Google Chrome not Internet Explorer).
    It seem reasonable to assume that if a person has been certified by Microsoft then they must be reasonably competent.
    There's no easy answers to the questions you have posed.
    Sometimes you might find that no matter how technically competent the person is they aren't a good teacher.
    Think back to your school days and the teachers you did / didn't like and why.
    Until you actually get taught by the trainer concerned you simply don't know what they are going to be like so you might like to get other people's opinions of whether a potential teacher would be suitable for your requirements or not.

  • Looking for BPA training in EMEA

    Hi all,
    I am looking for courses or other events providing in-depth training of the BPA tool.
    Living in Norway so events should be held in Europe.
    Have been looking for it a while now, without any luck.
    Does anyone of you know of a scheduled/planned event that targets BPA and that will provide good insight in its use?
    Regards,
    Bjarte Krüger Engedal

    Hi Bjarte,
    There is a new BPA class called "Oracle BPA Suite: Model and Implement Business Processes" being rolled out right now. Unfortunately the only class planned in Europe will be run in German, but you could contact your local Oracle office and ask what the upcomming plans for Norway (or Scandinavia) are.
    You can find more information on the training at Oracle University's web [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D70464GC10&p_org_id=34&lang=D&source_call=]

    The place to get the SAP training books is from SAP, not the SDN forum.

  • Looking for Presenter Training tutorials

    I know this is the Captivate group, but since many of us use both tools I thought I would throw out the question. i am looking for some free demo's on using Presenter. I haven't had much luck on the Adobe website. If anyone has run across some training on the tool and what it can do, I would appreciate some guidance.
    thanks
    Gina B.

    Hello Gina,
    I cannot help you very much, do use Presenter myself. Do you know there is a forum for Presenter? It is a little bit hidden, you'll have to go to the Connect Pro Forums to find it:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/connectpro/connectpro_presenter
    RJ Jacquez blogged a couple of times about Presenter and included some video, you can search on:

    If you have specific questions, you're welcome but do not know about real trainings.

  • Looking for Xcode training resource using C++

    I have been programming for over twenty years in the CAD (Computer Aided Design) field, and I would like to start programming on the Mac. I have owned various Apple computers since 1987 (Apple IIGS, SE30, ... G5), and I used to code on the Mac using Hypercard back in the late 80'sm early 90's. But all my work related programming has been on other computers, UNIX based, DEC VAX, and now for the last ten years the PC using Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET 2003. I'm really not that old, I just started coding when I was very young.
    I have always loved the Mac and it is the only computer I have at home. So now I want to start using the Xcode environment. But I would really rather just stick with C++ since that is what I've been using for the last decade or so.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on a good resource (book, manual, etc.) that teaches the Xcode environment using C++ instead of Objective-C?
    Thanks much,
    Tom

    Xcode is just an IDE. You probably need to make a decision about what API or application framework you want to use.
    If you really must use C++, you'll probably have to use Carbon, which exports C APIs. There are some cross-platform app frameworks in C++, such as Qt or wxWidgets, but they're either not free or provide a poor user experience. There don't really seem to be any recent books which detail modern best practices in Carbon, but take a look at http://www.carbondev.com/site/?page=CarbonBooks
    Most people coming to the platform go down the Cocoa route. Really, if you know C (which you do if you know C++) and you are comfortable with OO concepts, then learning the Obj-C language is just a case of sitting down with Apple's guide for an afternoon. Cocoa brings lots of new concepts to the table, but you'll have an initial barrier to learning an API/framework whatever you go with... Sticking to C++ because it's "what you know" is almost certainly disingenuous.
    If you really do just want to learn the IDE, then there are various books which cover Xcode and the associated development tools. See http://www.carbondev.com/site/?page=Xcode+Books
