By Giles Johnston

Do you want an MRP system that really works for your business?

Do you feel you are getting the most out of your MRP or ERP software?
Would you like your MRP or ERP system to be used to its full potential, so that you can save time and money, access accurate data quickly, communicate more effectively, and improve efficiency?
If so, then Making MRP Work is just the book you need

A practical guide for Business Directors and Operations Managers

Many businesses find themselves with similar problems. Materials being ordered too late, confusion on the shop floor and spreadsheets being used rather than the MRP or ERP system itself. Does this sound familiar to you?
Making MRP Work is a practical guide aimed at Operations Managers and business directors who need some support with their MRP or ERP software. If you are operating an existing MRP or ERP system but feel that it could be doing more for you, then this book can help you to identify the changes you need to make.

Learn how to create an effective change plan for your MRP system.

The book begins by looking at the fundamentals of MRP decision making and the basic rules MRP systems work from, before showing you how to identify the workarounds that your business is using, so that you can rapidly find what needs to be improved. Next it shows you how to determine the system's 'rules' by teaching it to think like the best members of your team, before showing you how to develop housekeeping tasks to keep your system working properly.
