Manufacturing Planning and Control for Supply Chain Management 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

I bought this book to study for the Manufacturing Planning and Control module for the APICS CPIM test. It was listed as one of the primary references in the Exam Content Manual.If this wasn't one of the primary references for the exam, I would not read it.I find the explanations of concepts to be overly complex in some cases, and lacking in other areas. I've seen concepts presented more clearly in other learning materials before, such as an online class I took from Michigan State University, as well as Introduction to Materials Management by Tony Arnold. If I hadn't learned some of the concepts from other materials, I would be struggling to understand what the authors in this book were trying to teach.This book also has grammatical issues, awkward writing in some places, and bad editing. One example of bad editing has the first line of a paragraph state the following: "...we show a plan that maintains five days of supply at the end of each month." and the last line of a paragraph state the following "...that results in a five-week supply of inventory at the end of each month."This is an example of awkward writing: "...authorize spending for changes in production/procurement rate changes". The authors should have omitted the first "changes" and left the sentence as "...authorize spending for production/procurement rate changes".I find myself tempted to gloss over some material so I don't have to deal with the author's confusing explanations of concepts in some places.I never had this problem when reading Introduction for Materials Management by Tony Arnold for the Basics of Supply Chain Management exam module for the APICS CPIM.

I bought this book specifically to study for the next four CPIM tests. I think this book is much better than the study guides. I have all five of the CPIM study notes Books and much of the information is repetitive, this book is more geared to getting one prepared for the CPIM tests (IMHO) with questions at the end of the chapters that makes you research even further. BTW I also bought the sample tests for my first CPIM Basics test and they were very repetitive as well, and did not include many questions that were on the test. However, I did pass!

The book presents in a concise and objective way, the main concepts regarding Manufacture Planning and Control. From Manufacturing Strategy Design to Shop-Floor, you can find valuable information and concepts to match the MPC system to the Market Requirements.Another great feature of the book is the APIC questions at the end of each chapter. Useful for those who are seeking an APIC’s certification.

The book was is excellent condition and has been a great tool in studying for my CPIM.

The book that I purchased was in an excellent status (even when I bought it was clearly mentioned it was a used book). This material looks as if your bought a brand new book. this is a terrific purchase, the first one at Amazon by the way. I will continue to buy in line at Amazon. man many thanks.

Very good

Nice book that I will recommend to anybody writing the APICS CPIM exams. This book is specifically chanelled towards the exam and also contains information regarding MPC. The book also meet the sellers description. I will recommend the seller to anybody.

Great tool for presenting the DIFFICULT CPIM EXAM.... specially the ECO MODULE.. Great book for people involved in supply chain, shop floor control and for general knowledge in JIT.A book for your personal library......

Primeramente el libro es muy bueno para todas aquellas personas que quieren tener información de la gestión de la cadena de suministro y por otra parte, mi valoración muy alta porque el envío ha sido efectivo llegando en un plazo muy corto

The book tries to touch on manufacturing planning and execution but the flow is inconsistent, subject matter is scarce, and the writing style is boring. I would recommend instead Introduction to Material Management by Tony Arnold et al. For a more exciting and user friendly reading experience.

Muy buen libro y por el precio de su version en Kindle preferí comprarlo en pasta dura. Cabe señalar que aún no he llegado al modulo 7, que es en donde las reseñas en Ingles mencionan errores de edición y errores en los ejercicios.

Exhaustive and compete theory

Ottimo libro, molto dettagliato ed esauriente. Cobsigliato per chiunque voglia acquisire conoscenze sulla supplì chiam management e sul MRP 2
