solid advice for people new to the MRP paradigm
This book is a great place to start for anyone that wants to learn the basics of manufacturing resource planning. It is not the definative textbook on the subject, but it offers many good solid examples of how to implement MRP in a manufacturing organization. Worth every penny.

Solid Materials Management Basics
Ms. Ptak manages to cover all of the basics of MRP in a single, well written, yet small book. Easily read this is a good primer for anyone who is teachning or training entrants to the field of Materials Management and Inventory Control.

It is not the "be all and end all" of the topic but sufficient to getting people started and understanding this essential tool of Materials Management. If you are a teacher or manager in the field (I'm both as well as a consultant) this is one book to have at the ready for the new employee, student, or client starting the journey.
