4.0 out of 5 stars Effective Book Explaining Concepts That ARe Often Misunderstood, November 21, 2010
This review is from: Master Scheduling in the 21st Century (Paperback)
As a consultant and working in different environments, I have found that one of the biggest challenges on projects is getting a shared understanding on terminology. S&OP, MPS, and master scheduling all seem to be interpreted as different things by different people. This book's biggest strength is that it explains both how master scheduling is different from master production scheduling, and also how master scheduling fits into S&OP. For that alone it is a worthwhile read.
