An excellent read. Not academic at all - just real-world advice and an easy to follow step-by-step process that I think would work for most manufacturing companies.
For those involved in the Manufacturing sector looking to implement an MRP/ERP system then this book is a must. It cuts through all of the (mostly unnecessary) jargon and provides a template which is so easy to follow.

Very simple to understand process, well laid out.
