Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Vollman, Berry, Whybark and Jacobs', Manufacturing Planning And Control Systems, 5/e provides comprehensive real world based coverage of the concepts, tools, and methods used to manage and control manufacturing systems. This major revision contains four entirely new chapters and four thoroughly upgraded to nearly original content. ERP system coverage and the impact of them in the field is covered now in a new introductory chapter (4) as well as being integrated heavily into many other chapters from Sales and Operations Planning (3) to Advanced Scheduling Systems (16). Manufacturing Planning And Control Systems, 5/e continues to be organized in a flexible format, with the basic coverage in chapters 1-12 followed by advanced chapters that could be covered along with the basics, or skipped. Each chapter provides a managerial issues overview, then the detailed technical presentation, then examples of company implementations, then concluding principles..

I required this book for a class i was taking. Overall this is one of the worst text books i have ever used. The book is filled with somewhat technical and complex information regarding MPC, yet fails to provide topical examples illustrating the principles and theories behind the information. The only reason to ever buy a book this overpriced and disobliging is for a class.

This book is terrible and most of my classmates concur. For example chapter 5 alludes to certain statistical methods and in essence completely butchers them. As a student I had to use several other resources to pass my classes as this text is useless. If you are an instructor select something else.

This is a must have in any business library. The material is applicable in many useful areas throughout the supply chain. It's enjoyable to read b/c you keep thinking of how to apply the theories introduced in the book in your work. This is absolutely a treasure in your library.

Even if it is taken as the popular textbook for MPC, I'd rather read the another one: "Introduction to the materials management" by Arnold and Chapman. I can not easily catch the points and feel muddled after reading long sections and words in this book. However, the examples and case studies here are worthy to have a big picture for those who are new in this field.

Great book for all Industrial engineers. It does not get completely complicated and relates directly to common day industry practices.
