Description and Table of Contents
Description
With the increased use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and automation software, the popularity of finite capacity scheduling (FCS) has increased greatly and the technique is now seen as a key complement to Master Resource Planning (MRP), today's predominant planning tool. The major benefit of using FCS is the ability it confers to perform effective short-term planning, complementing popular inventory approaches like Just-in-Time (JIT). Written by two experts in the areas of ERP and FCS, this book offers clear guidelines for manufacturing, logistics and operations managers looking to implement FCS and manage their business accordingly.
