Robin Goodfellow’s pocket guide to the essential foundations of any successful planning and control process is based in part on the definitive reference on the subject by the acclaimed American author and educator, Tom Wallace.

The best recommendation we can cite for this introduction to S&OP comes from Tom Wallace himself:

“Robin Goodfellow’s booklet on Sales & Operations Planning is superb. He does a fine job in describing this powerful process.”

One of the fundamental truths of any planning system is that we need to start with a valid plan from the outset. Never is this more clearly illustrated than in MRPII, Manufacturing Resource Planning.

At the heart of MRPII is the original computerised planning engine, MRP, Material Requirements Planning. This process ‘explodes’ the statement of proposed output (MPS, the Master Production Schedule) into constituent requirements, nets off existing stock and order balances and generates actions to increase or decrease order cover, or perhaps re-schedule planned supply.
