RE: MRP Dates Education

["George Sagen" <gsagen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Al,

re. "I think I need a class in general principles of MRP irrespective of
BPCS..."

Try an APICS course. The American Production and Inventory Control Society
informally owns (according to APICS bigots...like me) the standards for MRP
terminology and generally accepted MRP practices. You can take a class or
just order the training materials. The MRP class is something like 8
courses, 3 hours each. They qualify as adult continuing education courses
and most employers foot the bill. I also highly recommend Joseph Orlicky's
book on MRP. Not exactly as riveting as Tom Clancy (or Calvin and Hobbes)
but an industry staple.
