Completely revised and updated, ERP: Tools, Techniques, and Applications for Integrating the Supply Chain, Second Edition describes, from the perspective of a business manager, concepts and tools for enterprise planning, management, and execution. The text is written in an easy-to-read format, with many real examples from a variety of industries that illustrate key points. This book can be used over and over, as a quick reference to obtain insight into ERP topics. The Second Edition introduces many new topics, including: · Supplier relationship management (SRM) · Strategic sourcing · Throughput supply chain measures such as inventory dollar days and throughput dollar days · Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) · Technology architecture choices · Customer relationship management With the help of a supplemental CD containing a Management Interactive Case Study System (MICSS), this volume explains the application of ERP tools and techniques to different types of businesses, and enables you to test the concepts in a computer simulation model.

used only the cd 2007-01-03 the software delivered on cd with this book is worth, i didn't read the book. the ERP simulator is a very good concept, the application itself however is buggy, i think they released unfinished beta version.
What is it? Pull everything and call it ERP? 2001-03-23 I should believed Jim (another reviewer of this book). This book does not focus on ERP. Rather, it's a basic operation management book. There are only 2-3 chapters that really talk about ERP but only introduction. If you look for the introduction, "Daniel E. O'Leary" book is much more valuable (Enterprise Resource Planning Systems : Systems, Life Cycle, Electronic Commerce, and Risk). Although I am an IE, I don't think this book will be interesting other IE too. Like I said in subject, the author(s) try to pull everything, e.g., SCM, OM, and ERP and call it's an integration. The simulation game does not capture neither "fundamental" or "application". I still don't understand why APICS publish this book in the market.
Excellent guide for ERP users and providers 2000-05-17 As an almost novice in ERP systems, I found it interesting to follow up all the chapters of this book: "ERP; tools, techniques, and applications for integrating the supplu chain". The book starts with the history of ERP and descriptions of every aspect of enterprise production systems. Chapters on backgrounds for operations management and each module of ERP systems follow this introductory part. At the end, real-world application issues and implementation problems are discussed. Examples and attached simulator (MICSS, contained in a CD-ROM) provide further demonstration of real case studies. I recommend this book to the intermediate level of ERP users of developers.
