In October, Caterpillar was awarded the Education Award of Excellence by APICS the Association for Operations Management. Each year, APICS, a global leader and premier source of the body of knowledge in supply chain and operations management, recognizes significant bottom-line and workforce development results achieved through innovation and education.

Mark Ward, CPS Supply Chain Director, accepted the award on behalf of Caterpillar along with trainers and sponsors Joe Mikesell, Jake Ordonez and Daniel Stanton.

Ward congratulated graduates saying, "Caterpillar is seen as the leader in educating our workforce in the area of supply chain management. This is a fitting recognition of all the hard work that our employees have put in.
