Good contents at a high cost, July 18, 2000
This review is from: MRP II Standard System: A Handbook for Manufacturing Software Survival (Hardcover)
The book covers MRP in a great deal of length. However, contents are suitable for beginners and intermediate level MRP practitioners. Researchers won't find the book very useful. The high cost of this book is not justified. If you are looking for good contents regardless of the price, do buy this book.
