WHY MRP IS STILL RELEVANT: AND HOW TO IM

When a manufacturing ERP implementation disappoints, it most usually does so because the manufacturing modules have been badly implemented. And the manufacturing module that is most frequently badly implemented is the MRP module. Many consultancies do not employ manufacturing specialists and they, at best, deploy all-rounders to implement it. The results are predictably poor. So this book looks at implementing MRP properly; whether as part of a larger ERP system or, indeed, as a stand-alone system with interfaces to other business systems, such as accounting and sales. When companies get MRP right, it makes a real difference to costs, to productivity and to customer satisfaction & retention.
