'The Supply Chain Approach to Planning and Procurement Management' from HP.

11th February 2002

http://www.unusualresearch.com/supplychain/supplychain.htm

"Manufacturing organizations must always deal with determining how to balance on-hand part inventories and suppliers' response times.

This article describes a project called supply chain, which focused on characterizing the various stochastic events influencing a manufacturing organization's shipment and inventory performance. A collection of statistical modeling assumptions, equations, and equation derivations are described that focus on minimizing on-hand inventory and
optimizing supplier response time.

The Supply Chain Approach to Planning and Procurement Management

The supply chain approach models stochastic events influencing a manufacturingo rganization's shipment and inventoryp erformance in the same way that a mechanical engineer models tolerance buildup in a new product design. The objectives are to
minimize on-hand inventory and optimize supplier response times. " - by Gregory A. Kruger

You can contact me at the above URL if you want some real world horror stories of MRP/ERP systems that I've been forced to use.
I hope the above info will give them a run for their money when GNUE is ready to take them on. - BobP.
