"It is the first ERP book to deal with Sales and Operations Planning and its importance to the success of an ERP system…The book is easy to read. It should probably be read cover to cover before beginning the ERP implementation."
-- Richard C. Ling, CFPIM, from the Foreword

"The focus is on manufacturing and supply chains, but nonmanufacturing people in logistics will find lots of help…Successfully implementing modern computer-based systems in the real world is a theme throughout…This is not a book to be read leisurely and put aside…it is a reference to keep very handy and use while working to avoid expensive pitfalls."
-- George W. Plossl, CFPIM, from the Foreword
