Superplant: Creating a Nimble Manufacturing Enterprise with Adaptive Planning Software

This book addresses several production and supply planning software functionalities that are all related to the location-based adaptability of the supply chain planning application (multi-plant planning and subcontracting, and contract manufacturing planning). This adaptability is a historical weakness of both advanced planning applications as well as ERP systems. Some of this functionality is rarely found in commercially-available applications, while other functionality is more commonly found but is difficult to implement. This book explains these how these multiple functionalities can be leveraged to provide the ultimate in planning flexibility in both supply and production planning.
