What industry experts are saying about Demand Driven Material
Requirements Planning (DDMRP)...
With the development of DDMRP and now the writing of this book,
Ptak and Smith have broken through common practice to bring common
sense to supply chain management. If your company is facing
variability and uncertainty across your supply chain and the future
looks little like the past, then this book holds the answer.
DDMRP represents the future of planning in today's complex and
volatile supply chains. Inherent flaws in the traditional planning
approaches are exposed and resolved for today's complex adaptive
supply chains. With the Demand Driven Adaptive Schema and the
pivotal position of Demand Driven Sales and Operations Planning,
this is not just a better way to plan; it is a better way to run an
organization in today's hypercompetitive environment. Operations
and strategy can now easily and realistically be connected
bi-directionally, allowing both to adapt to critical changes for
the best return on shareholder equity.
This book is the ultimate reference for this new way of life across
a dynamic adaptive supply chain. --Dick Ling S&OP Consultant
