No one would argue that the processes of production planning and production control can be quite complex. The authors chose to be straightforward. Illustrations are hypothetical examples based on the production of air-conditioning systems. I like the concise and practical presentation throughout.
Inherent restriction is limited scope and lack of detail. I consider it as tradeoff. If those authors publish another book on process industry, I will definitely buy it.
* I have a suggestion. It just shows t-code for relevant IMG setting. I like customizing path instead. I suspect other readers also want to get familiarize with the tree structured menu of IMG. I can look at transaction code once I get there. The other way around is kind of tricky.
I was expecting more of case study with practical IDES examples.

Like most SAP Press books, it's highly structured and provides an overview of the processes. However, this one does seem to go into a bit more depth than many of the other books. The items taht it refers to are relevant to the current version 6 of the software, so it is better than many of the others which are based upon earlier versions.
