(More customer reviews)My search for MRP II study and reference material ended with this book. This 585-page HANDBOOK OF MRP2 is the most comprehensive text on the subject. It starts with the basics of manufacturing and builds an exhaustive knowledge base for MRP2 students and practitioner. After reading this book you are well prepared to learn the Manufacturing/Production Planning module of any ERP/SCM package.
Because this book covers manufacturing right from strategic planning level to the shop floor, it helps as a primer as well as advanced reference not just for ERP users/implementers but also for SCM learners and practitioners.
The highlight of the first chapter is an exhaustive and lucid coverage of assemble-to-order manufacturing and mass customization. This is the best sourcebook for learning mass customization, product configuration, and planning bills of material.
Material requirements planning is covered in utmost detail in the 2nd chapter. The working of the entire manufacturing module is covered in this comprehensive chapter. Every relevant acronym is explained.
The next 7 chapters cover topics like Strategic and Business Planning, Sales and Operations Planning, Demand Management, Master Production Scheduling, Bill of Material, Capacity Management, and Shop Floor Control. Each topics is covered in a very concise and precise manner. The logical organization of topics in the book and the flow makes learning an extremely complex subject like manufacturing far more easier than one can ever imagine.
The last three chaptrers introducing ERP, SCM, and CRM are rather disappoining in content and coverage. However, the topics covered in this book are indispensible prerequisites for learning ERP and Supply Chain Management. Overall, this book can help you master MRP2, even if you don't know the basics of manufacturing planning.
