This is a very basic and useful knowledge/concept, not only for logistic/supply chain people, but also business (commercial, marketing, sales), production team.
Theory : *****
Management understanding and commitment : ***
* = acceptance level (my guesstimate).
People could learn and trying (trying I really mean) to understand the concept, but how is the implementation.. it might result differently.
Potential danger:
- Low understanding and commitment at management level (even worst if at operational level)
- Focus on wrong metrics

How shall we implement MRP II in our business? In my opinion, the implementation is very customizing. It is an art, below illustration might be help
Fabric : MRP II as theory
Tailor : SC expert
Dress : MRP II implementation
How well you dress up (or utilize MRP II) in your life (company) will be the end result..
You could feel great using MRP II, because of great tailor.. or
You feel great using MRP II, because it is really suit you..

Back ground of Supply Chain – Logistic Free thought
Being a supply chain person in almost my career (> 20 years), has build a bit of expertise that might be useful to share. The expertise also enriched with:
- Major supply chain experiences in planning, warehousing, terminal, 3PL manufacturing and repackaging, distribution and transportation
- Added with Purchasing, production and maintenance fields experiences
- R&D, Accounting, Sales and Marketing, HR close interactions
- Heavy industry (Steel factory), consumer goods (house hold, automotive and personal care) and chemical (Gas, Plastic, Basic and Performance, also agro chemicals) industry experiences
- Managing 3PL (Land transporters, Marine bulk and Packed Cargo, Sea and Air shipments, forwarder)
- Dealing with small (garden services, bolt), Medium (Bearing, hydraulics, pneumatics), big (lubricant, gas, chemicals) vendors and traders.
- Planning and scheduling; with small (ie. 50ml packed products) with heavy marketing promotion up to big (ie. 3000 MT bulk) with tight dealing time slot.
- Understanding small spare part (nut and bolt) up to big construction (steel refractory, double haul chemical tanker design)
- Managing a simple (house keeping) up to complex (ie. ISO, SQAS, CDI) Safety Health and Environment programs.
- Working on shop floor (mechanic), department head (logistic Manager), up to managing joint venture agreement (supporting CEO)
Hope all above are enough… to support you that interested to share and hope I could also learn from you.
