Press on ISCEA Certified Critical Chain Project Manager (IC3PM)

Cleveland, Ohio , USA - - August 1, 2013. ISCEA announced today that it is launching a Critical Chain Project Management Program for Supply Chain Professionals. The ISCEA Critical Chain Project Management Program will be delivered in 2-day public or on-site sessions. The session participants then will be able to take a certification exam and be qualified as IC3PM (ISCEA Certified Critical Chain Project Manager). Session attendees will also get a 60-day free trail of EXEPRON software.

"Project management is a critical tool for all supply chain management professionals to deal with the rapidly changing requirements in the supply chain.  ISCEA believes that understanding supply chains is not enough to make a supply chain professional world class because they also require project management skills to rapidly implement change in their dynamic environments.  Therefore, ISCEA has decided to partner with EXEPRON, the industry leader in Critical Chain Project Management Software to develop the ISCEA Certified Critical Chain Project Manager workshop and certification program.  We think this IC3PM program closely aligns with our current Certified Demand Driven Planner (CDDP) program because both are built on a solid foundation of the Theory of Constraints. We are delighted about our partnership and think this program will be a great success for ISCEA, EXEPRON, and all of the participants in the program,” stated Dr. Charles A Watts, Executive Director of ISCEA.

First introduced by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt in 1997, Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) is a relatively new, innovative method for planning, scheduling, and managing performance in a project environment based on Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints (TOC).  CCPM was the first significant change about project management thinking since PERT and CPM were created in the 1950’s.  CCPM differs from traditional project management methods which rely on completing tasks in a specific order with inflexible scheduling.  Using the Critical Chain methodology, resources are applied to the tasks requiring immediate attention with greater flexibility, resulting in keeping projects on schedule, within budget and delivered on time. CCPM is applied in single-project and multi-project environments (PPM – Project Portfolio Management) where resources are shared across multiple projects.

EXEPRON CEO Mr. Daniel Walsh has joined iGBS (ISCEA Global Business Solutions) group and EXEPRON COO Mr. John Thompson is appointed to the role of Director of Certified Critical Chain Project Manager Program at ISCEA. Mr. Walsh and Mr. Thompson bring many years of experience in helping some of the largest organizations in the world implement Project Management Solutions.

Mr. Daniel Walsh is a recognized expert in developing and implementing powerful strategies that quickly and dramatically improve market presence and profitability. He has worked with companies in the pharmaceutical, construction, engineering; software, manufacturing, aerospace & defense industries.

“We are excited” Exepron CEO Mr. Walsh says “about joining forces with a global leading supply chain organization such as ISCEA. The vision of incorporating Critical Chain Project Management, a rapidly growing requirement in the global marketplace places ISCEA and EXEPRON Team at the cusp of the supply chain evolution. Achieving and maintaining industry leadership is only possible when all the elements in the chain are synchronized, have access to real time actionable information; the essential ingredients for global collaboration.”
