Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Many companies have adopted the approach of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II). Despite the improvements and broadening of the MRP framework, MRP II systems still perform poorly in certain manufacturing environments. Help is at hand. This book proposes new ideas to improve the planning activities at the strategic, tactical and execution layers in manufacturing organisations. It takes into account the diverse nature of manufacturing environments. The book presents an almost unique combination of theory tested in practice, enhancing traditional manufacturing planning approaches. It is essential reading for managers and practitioners in the field, and is also suitable as an advanced text for students in industrial engineering, manufacturing and management.
Includes bibliograpical references (pages 233-235) and index.
An introduction to manufacturing planning and control systems -- Basic streams in manufacturing planning and control thinking -- Business planning -- Master planning -- Execution planning and control -- Overall conclusions.
