This text provides an assessment of modern manufacturing planning systems and highlights the strategies which will lead to benefits for the organization. The concept of a prescriptive MRPII system is discarded and instead MRPII is used as a generic framework within which a variety of manufacturing planning methods may be incorporated. These include the Kanban system of Just in Time (JIT), Optimized Production Technology (OPT) and other forms of scheduling to dinite capacity an distributed implementation methods. Divided into four secitons, the emphasis throughout the text is on the benefits available to the end user in terms of inventory reduction and customer service improvements. After an introduction to the subject in part one, parts two and three address the major components of an integrated manufacturing planning system in detail, concentrating first on materials planning and then on the wider production management system. Finally, part four deals with planning, implementation and management issues, examining reasons for success and failure, exploring the constraints on software selection and concluding with an analysis of expected benefits. Fully supported by up-to-date case studies, this book should be a useful guide for all users and potential users of manufacturing planning systems.
