Membership of the MIRCE Akademy has been created to allow Members to undertake continuous professional development through a range of activities and facilities that have been carefully designed to provide both breadth and depth of subject matter to assist not only the immediate application of knowledge, understanding and skills but also to act as a stimulus for further professional development.

Participating in Monthly Web-Based Professional Development
Each month the MIRCE Akademy presents a professional development opportunity in the Members’ area of the website. This might be in the form of a practical exercise in a particular analytical technique for members to work through (with solutions published the following month), worked examples, case studies, etc.
Example Practical Exercise
|
When asked to define the length of time a customer is going to wait for spare parts for a new type of equipment, the logistics support manager (who has spent seventeen years supporting similar equipment, made the following judgement -
a) Making use of the above data, determine the probability that a potential customer will receive the necessary parts within 3 hours of placing an order. b) Also determine the proportion of customers whose demand for needed spares will be met within the first 36 hours. |
Accessing the Technical Paper of the Month
