Since 1977, manufacturing professionals have turned to The Oliver Wight ABCD Checklist to improve their companies’ performance. Must-reading for logistics, distribution, and manufacturing professionals, the ABCD Checklist provides a superbly efficient approach to benchmarking your company’s performance and capabilities against the very best. Its sharply honed questions cover all the essential areas:

  • Planning and Control

This newly updated edition reflects the dramatic changes in MRP II practices and the explosion of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tools. Including FAQs and tools from the field compiled by Oliver Wight’s international group of consultants, The Oliver Wight ABCD Checklist for Operational Excellence, Fifth Edition should be a critical part of any program that strives to reach as close to perfection as possible.

Good reference book - shouldn't be shilled by employees...


A Diagnosis tool made even better! 2000-12-16
In addition to improvements to the Planning and Control chapter, which was the strength untill now, this 5th edition has significantly expanded the chapters on Strategy, People / Teams, Quality / Continuous Improvement, and Product Development, making it a more complete tool.


Excellent diagnosis and guide for improvement of companies 1999-05-20
I have been using Oliver Wight checklists as a support for improving company processes for over 11 years, both as a practitioner and as a consultant. This fourth version has a very detailed chapter 5 (corresponding to MRPII / ERP / Supply Chain Management) and reasonably good chapters 1 through 4. "Non-initiated" professionals may find some difficult and may misinterpret some of the questions, but this will improve as they keep on applying the checklist. Not a pleasant reading but definitely worth using it!
