Great Book  2008-08-19
My Professor is Lloyd Clive at Sir Sanford Fleming College in Peterborough, Ontario. I had the oppertunity to study the book as he explained it, giving me the full benefit of this text. It is a well related book meaning it is easy to understand becuase it relates to real world and real expierences. Great buy if your interested.
Well worth the money.  2006-05-20
I own the 4th edition. I had to make a comment after amazon recommended the 5th.
This is a great book. Originally, i was PO'ed at the price. Especially when you get it and its quite thin compared to many texts. I had to get it for APICS.
Once you start reading it you find it cuts through all waste. This is not a padded book. It explains concepts in a brief, direct manner. Most importantly it communicates clearly. Its like a well written executive summary of the field of materials management. There is enough detail for practitioners.
I have almost all texts in the recommended reading of APICS. This is probably my favorite. The utility you will get per unit of time reading this is huge.

Best book to understand manufacturing process 2006-02-01
This is one of the best books I have come across which explains the basics of Manufacturing.
A good textbook 2005-11-16
This book covers the basics of material management and goes into some quantitative detail as well. It is very well written and its lucid style is perfect for a beginner to get a grasp on the subject.
The author clearly and logically explains the concepts of production planning, master production schedule, MRP, Production and activity control, purchasing, inventory management, forcasting, demand planning and much more.
The book also has an abundance of examples and exercises for the student to work through. It makes a good read as a beginner's textbook - but it is probably not very useful as a practical guide for the experienced professional.
