Synopsis

In today's global economy, small to medium-sized companies increasingly depend on computer-aided planning and control. And rightly so, for the large amounts of data these tasks involve cannot be handled quickly - and accurately - enough by other methods. The success of magic formulas, catchwords, and simplifying theories in logistics management depends upon the people using them. An exhaustive understanding of logistics forms the basis of this book. It emphasizes integral analysis and design covering logistics networks through the entire production process to the end user and back again. The author examines business objectives and methods in detail. Along with the familiar concepts of production planning and control systems, he discusses the integration of planning and control in research and development. Integral Logistics Management: Planning and Control of Comprehensive Business Processes provides a comprehensive understanding of logistics. The book handles both classical and novel approaches to nonrepetitive (one-of-a-kind) production. You will find not only the most recent trends in supply chain management, virtual organizations, and agile companies, but also the concepts of Just-In-Time (JIT) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Materials Resource Planning II (MRP II).
