Orlicky's Material Requirements PlanningAn update of Orlicky's seminal work on the principles and precepts of MRP, originally published by McGraw-Hill in 1975. Building on Orlicky's work, Plossl identifies and solves specific problems in production and inventory control, purchasing, quality, information systems, distribution, and warehousing; maps out the strategies and techniques that affect MRP implementation, including MRPII, Just-in- Time, and TQM; provides enhanced coverage of master production scheduling, capacity requirements planning, and structuring of bills of materials; and offers new problems and examples to illustrate key points.
