Student Chapter Victory

The student chapter has done it again.
We won the first place in the 12th Region Fourteen Annual Student Case Competition, held in Downers Grove, IL on February 16 – 17th 2007.

A total of 19 teams participated, who were presented with the case of improving the response time of claims for an insurance processing firm.

We had to work on it overnight and present on Saturday morning. Also, 5 student from the winning team will be taken to Denver to attend the next APICS International Conference for free. I would like to thank the parent chapter for supporting us to attend this competition.

We will try to continue doing the good work.
Thank you,
