MRP II: Planning for Manufacturing Excellence, an authoritative and insightful text, explores and defines the principles of Manufacturing Resource Planning methodology. It describes how the manufacturer can utilize and institute these principles effectively for maximum profit. Written from a user's viewpoint, the author presents MRP II as a planning tool used to achieve successful execution in differing manufacturing environments.
The text features extensive end-of-chapter case studies, chapter quizzes, and their solutions as well as a glossary of terms. It also includes specific goals for manufacturing environments such as short lead times, reduced work-in-process, and flexibility to demand. In addition, detailed explanations of recent approaches to both infinite and finite scheduling are examined as well as execution concepts for processes, ranging from continuous synchronized process flow to nonsynchronized interrupted flow.
Designed to provide readers with the principles of MRP II as well as its application to planning and manufacturing execution, this essential guide fulfills the training needs of manufacturing personnel and community college students. It is also a useful resource for material and manufacturing practitioners who require in-depth knowledge of MRP II or those who use it as a reference book to assist in The American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) certification.
