Building on the pioneering work of Joseph Orlicky, this new edition of the classic text on material requirements planning (MRP) reveals the next evolutionary step for materials and supply chain synchronization in the modern manufacturing landscape.
Orlicky's Material Requirements Planning, Third Edition reviews the poor business results embedded in many of today's manufacturing systems, discusses the core problems causing these results, explains an alternative pull structure for planning and controlling materials flow, and presents results from actual implementations.
This thoroughly updated edition offers comprehensive coverage of MRP, describes the current state of the MRP application, and identifies the fundamental changes required to achieve sustainable success given the current global circumstances and technology options. This state-of-the art guide articulates the next generation of MRP logic--demand driven MRP (DDMRP)--and provides a roadmap for the near and distant future for this critical manufacturing management tool.

MRP and Beyond: A Toolbox for Integrating People and Systems

Irwin Professional_Pub

After reading the newspapers and following the sharp oscillations of the stock market, it becomes apparent that hi-tech companies are of a different breed. Never before have the chances of making a fortune been so realistic and never before have large companies been so fragile. What is really going on inside these hi-tech companies? What types of pressures and challenges are they facing? And how do they cope? 
Computer software providers, especially the ones that specialize in handling the data needs of organizations, are prime examples of these volatile companies. In the nineties we witnessed their growth from small businesses into multi-billion dollar giants. No wonder investors were attracted. 
In 1998 it was easy for such companies to raise as much money as they wanted. But now, investment funds have dried up. Why? And more importantly, is there a way to reverse the trend? This book gives the answers.

Intensifying competition forces companies to closely integrate with their customers and suppliers. Cooperation creates a more flexible supply chain. Yet, lead-times become shorter and demand for increased variety continues to grow. This dilemma requires a means to implement the desired integration. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is that tool. ERP, a system for effectively planning and managing all the resources of an enterprise, fully utilizes the increased power available in computers today. ERP is distinguished from MRP in its use of relational databases, fourth-generation languages, integrated computer aided engineering tools, and open system portability to adjunct planning systems, finite scheduling systems, and manufacturing execution systems. INTRODUCING THE MANAGEMENT INTERACTIVE CASE STUDY SIMULATOR This book includes the Management Interactive Case Study Simulator (MICSS) on CD-ROM, a computerized case study that lets you manage a small company, illustrating crucial management issues. The challenge: learn to control the dynamics of this virtual company and maneuver it to financial success. The Advanced Planning and Scheduling tools of the ERP system help determine the most beneficial mix of customers and orders. ERP provides timing recommendation for material purchases and can share this information with all links of the supply chain. A successful ERP is highly effective in reducing material costs, which boosts profitability. The most common reason that ERP implementations fail is when operators are not properly educated in the integrated business application of the system. This ignorance turns ERP into an overpriced inventory control system. ERP: Tools, Techniques and Applications for Integrating the Supply Chain helps provide the education that is critical for ERP success. Features

Economics

Réussir à investir le marché des PME, tout en réalisant autant de bénéfices que sur le marché des grandes entreprises : voilà le challenge que doit relever Scott Duncan, patron de BGSoft, l'une des plus grandes sociétés au monde de logiciels informatiques à destination des entreprises. En effet, depuis quelque temps, il a dû se rendre à l'évidence d'ici un an, le marché des grandes firmes, sa principale clientèle, arrivera à saturation. Sa seule chance de survie réside donc dans la vente aux petites et moyennes entreprises, qui présente pourtant un inconvénient majeur : les contrats seront nettement moins lucratifs, tout en nécessitant la même charge de travail. Cruelle impasse, d'autant que ce n'est pas la seule à laquelle Scott et ses collaborateurs se heurtent : soucis de recrutement ; manque de collaboration et d'organisation entre les différentes entités du groupe, entraînant un manque constant de réactivité ; complexification extrême du produit vendu ; difficultés croissantes à justifier et à quantifier la valeur ajoutée qu'apporte leur produit aux clients... autant de dilemmes qu'il faut résoudre vite, plus vite que les concurrents, sous peine d'être rayé de la carte ! Comme dans Le But, Réussir n'est pas une question de chance et Critical Chain, c'est toute une remise en cause du schéma global de l'entreprise qui est présentée dans Un an pour sauver l'entreprise. En s'appuyant sur les outils ERP, Eliyahu M. Goldratt - assisté de Carol A. Ptak et de Eli Schragenheim - nous invite ici, dans un style enlevé et plaisant, à repenser et réinventer les méthodes du management moderne.
