Re: BPCS reference manuals

I reccommend formal BPCS classes for anyone who can afford them & that all
companies using BPCS participate in their regional BPCS user conferences &
user groups.

I reccommend UPI manuals for people whose job it is to manage individual
areas of BPCS such as MRP, Shop Floor Control, Accounting, Engineering, and
so forth.

I reccommend APICS education for people who live & work in a factory
environment & are having trouble with the jargon & really want their work
place to fly right & use ERP etc. to its fullest theoretical capabilities.

I reccommend the BPCS Reference Manual for people who have technical
responsibilities managing a BPCS site, such as those of us who sometimes have
some difficulty figuring out what this or that field in some file is for.

I reccommend the IBM Redbook on BPCS for people who do need to know the
technical jargon to manage the system so that BPCS performance screams.

You might also check the archives of this group for additional threads on
this type of topic ... look for BPCS documentation.
