The Theory of Constraints Enters the Lean Manufacturing Arena (3 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Feb 21, 2006
Abstract : Lean principles are difficult to employ in complex environments, but materials requirement planning has well-known limitations. The theory of constraints, which is complementary to lean manufacturing when it comes to low volumes and complex environments, may provide an answer.

Pull vs Push: a Discussion of Lean, JIT, Flow, and Traditional MRP Part 1: Tutorial (3 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jan 14, 2004
Abstract : Flow manufacturing leverages techniques to help manufacturers create any product on any given day, in any given quantity including the 'quantity of one' (i.e., through the so-called mixed-model production), while keeping inventories to a minimum and shortening cycle times in order to quickly fill customer orders.

Pull vs Push: a Discussion of Lean, JIT, Flow, and Traditional MRP Part Two: Challenges and User Recommendations (4 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jan 15, 2004
Abstract : While lean/flow leverages practices to stay ahead of actual demand, traditional approaches better coordinate secondary, back-office systems like accounting and HR. Moreover, flow should be a company-wide strategy that impacts more than manufacturing.

INFIMACS Boasts MRP Relevant To MROs (3 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
May 9, 2002
Abstract : Through incrementally adding functionality tidbits that are crucial to its target market and that are not easily emulated by its competitors, Relevant continues to have a fair shot at delivering a viable solution to project-based discrete mid-market manufacturers such as aerospace contractors, contract manufacturers of electronic components, and MRO organizations.

Web-based Enterprise Resource Planning Solution Exhibits Lean Approach (5 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jul 26, 2006
Abstract : SSI's approach appeals to process manufacturers, as well as some discrete manufacturers with short lead times and high volumes, where the traditional manufacturing resource planning (MRP) approach often shows many shortcomings (and can even be a recipe for disaster).

Master Requirement Planning and Master Production Scheduling Software: Hard Facts Part One: Planning and Scheduling Concepts in Manufacturing (3 Pages)
by Ashfaque Ahmed
Oct 11, 2004
Abstract : Most of the manufacturing software vendors have planning and scheduling software which assume either infinite production capacity for calculating quantities of raw material and work in progress (WIP) requirements or infinite quantities of raw and WIP materials for calculating production capacity. There are many problems with this approach. This paper discusses the pitfalls of this approach and how to avoid these by making sure that the software you buy indeed takes into account finite quantities of required materials as well as finite capacities of work centers in your manufacturing facility.

Demand-driven Versus Traditional Materials Requirement Planning (4 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Aug 8, 2005
Abstract : Material requirements planning is a system that strives to plan replenishment just before a withdrawal from stock, which does not work in some manufacturing environments.
