MRP based systems have been available for over twenty years, but today's packaged implementations are limited in their ability to address evolving manufacturing segments such as custom manufacturing for the processing industries. MRP+ explores the solutions available and discusses the approaches that are being applied to meet the needs of specific industries starting with the adaptation of standard systems and then examining enhanced package approaches. This book explains how a packaged program can be modified and improved to meet diverse manufacturing requirements.
