Good Morning Norman, I am surprised that the list was not hit with a mass email reply with all the consultants on this list. For your question, there are hundreds of consultants ready to offer training. The issue will be training materials which is what will separate the good from the bad. The materials from SSA are the best that I have used. If a consultant is not connected with SSA, then the materials are not available to them. In the past, SSA has sold the materials directly to some customers. You will also get replies from some consulting companies that will tell you that they have created their own materials (I know since I have worked for 2 of them) and they are the best. What is your training issue? If, in the planning area, you know the basic process and have APICS certified employees, the SSA materials will work the best. If you are having training issues implementing or upgrading, then the SSA materials should be supplemented with industry ERP materials like the APICS classes. I have work on some difficult training issues in the past including one BPCS company that failed 2 previous attempts to install the manufacturing planning and execution products. After going through a custom class combining BPCS training materials along with an APICS class, they went up live. The issue was not with BPCS, but the employees understanding the basic industry standard planning process and that the software, BPCS, is a tool to assist you in this process. I hope this helps you in your decision on training. If you would like to consider doing the training in-house, or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Art Arthur B.
