 Excellent comprehensive resource January 5, 2006
Laura Hazen (Northville, MI USA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Instead of buying the David Vitale APICS 50 minute series, buy this book. I have been in the software business for several years but did not know anything about MRP II. This book is a comprehensive resource that is also well-organized. Also, it is a good reference book for those who are more familiar with MRP I and MRP II. You don't have have MRP knowledge or experience to read this book but being from a manufacturing background is extremely helpful. This book has resulted in me being well equipped to partnering with the manufacturing division to implement the chosen software package (keeping in mind that my lack of knowledge is not in software implementation but is in MRP II/manufacturing shop floor activites).

The extensive coverage of every aspect of manufacturing planning and control, such as pegging, back-flushing, phantom BOMs, etc. makes this book the indispensable companion for any manufacturing professional, whether the user of the manufacturing module of ERP or an implementer.
Single Source for APICS CPIM Preparation October 26, 2005

The book is an excellent supplementary reading for preparing for APICS CPIM examination. This book has made my preparation for CPIM a lot easier as it covers the entire APICS body of knowledge in a single volume. You don't have to search for another book on MRP or manufacturing. It is also a handy reference for all MRP/ERP/SCM professionals.
Everything an MRP2 User/Implementer Needs to Know Explained, Well Organized Body of Knowledge October 22, 2005

6 out of 6 found this review helpful
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.
 Not an easy read, too much information thrown in... October 5, 2005

Was expecting a great book about MRP II but just didn't cut out to be on just MRP II. Too much other information were placed there that should have belonged to another chapter. Quite confusing with all the acronyms that were randomly placed in the text. This book assumes that you have read other MRP II books. Definitely not a primer on MRP II.
