-Zentralblatt MATH

It is the first ERP book to deal with Sales and Operations Planning and its importance to the success of an ERP systemThe book is easy to read. It should probably be read cover to cover before beginning the ERP implementation.
-- Richard C. Ling, CFPIM, from the Foreword

The focus is on manufacturing and supply chains, but nonmanufacturing people in logistics will find lots of helpSuccessfully implementing modern computer-based systems in the real world is a theme throughoutThis is not a book to be read leisurely and put asideit is a reference to keep very handy and use while working to avoid expensive pitfalls.
-- George W. Plossl, CFPIM, from the Foreword

Reader Reviews
This review is from: ERP: Tools, Techniques, and Applications for Integrating the Supply Chain (Hardcover) I should believed Jim (another reviewer of this book). This book does not focus on ERP. Rather, it's a basic operation management book. There are only 2-3 chapters that really talk about ERP but only introduction. If you look for the introduction, "Daniel E. O'Leary" book is much more valuable (Enterprise Resource Planning Systems : Systems, Life Cycle, Electronic Commerce, and Risk). Although I am an IE, I don't think this book will be interesting other IE too. Like I said in subject, the author(s) try to pull everything, e.g., SCM, OM, and ERP and call it's an integration. The simulation game does not capture neither "fundamental" or "application". I still don't understand why APICS publish this book in the market. Comment | | (Report this)
