Summary: Very impressive indeed !
Review: Detailed yet un-complicated, comprehensive in all subject areas, and very well laid out. This is your bible for any supply chain development, implementation or support. It fills the void that implementation manuals, technical reference manuals and user manuals leave behind. I've just read it from cover to cover and am better equipped. My personal favorites were the chapters on Advanced Supply Chain Planning and Procurement Management. The last chapter on Business Intelligence wraps the book up nicely.

Summary: An excellent, first book of its kind
Review: Eversince I entered the field of Oracle Application implementation and consulting about 10 years ago, I have been in search of essays/book in manufacturing arena that would provide comphrensive and precise explanation of the theories, configurations and practices. I couldn't find anything except vastly confusing, uncomprehendable Oracle manufacturing manuals until my prayers were answered by three authors who have written an eloquent, clear, readable, precise and a fantastic book which has covered every aspect in manufacturing and supply chain any Oracle apps guy would like to know about.This book in all its pristine glory talks about the theory, setups, practices behind the Oracle manufacturing and supply chain functions. Excellent illustrations and examples adds another feather to the crown. Major topics covered include Design and Manufacturing engineering, supply chain planning and execution and business intelligence. Last but not least, the case study reemphasises some of the core facts explained earlier. Hats off to the three authors who have taken the albatross that is Oracle manufacturing, and with sheer sensible work, somehow got the beast into the air. I would, without a semblance of doubt, recommend this book to all those who would like to learn or know more about Oracle Manufacturing and Supply chain.

Summary: Good book for learing Oracle Apps.
Review: I bought this book in the hopes that atleast this one will Give me more insite into Oracle Apps. Oracle Apps are so huge that some times its difficult to understand how the key components are connected. I am glad that this book does precisely that. I am glad I bought it.

Summary: Priceless
Review: I just got this book 3 days ago, and it is better than I expected it to be even after reading the rave reviews. It is the first book you should get when joining an Oracle apps project. I am going to be building a Data Warehouse on Oracle Apps, and my team has not been involved in transactional implementation (surprise??). After weeks of being lost in the conversations/meetings, now we can use this book to quickly understand the lingo and issues of the implementation. Priceless.

Summary: Good 11i Manufacturing and Supply Chain book
Review: I was looking for a book like this since Oracle 11i Release. This is a very good book for the new and experienced Manufacturing and Supply Chain Professional. This book touches almost every part of the subject/module in Mfg. and it can be used as a Handbook too. This book is very knowledgeable and resourceful. I have recommended this book to many of my friends. Even my friends also feel that it is very useful book. What I liked most about this book is its organization and going detail about the important areas with examples and screen shots. Another good thing about this book is that it is both functional and technical. This book tells us about the important oracle tables and logical diagrams. It is very difficult to find a book like this one in the market. Good job!.

Summary: Great book for end users and implementors.
Review: It is very hard to write a book of this size and at the same time cover all aspects of Oracle Mfg. and Supply Chain Mgmt modules and I congratulate the authors for having done a commendable job at that. The first thing I see as different from other books and Oracle documentation is the fact that the topics are organized by functional areas rather than individual Oracle modules. This approach gives the complete picture of a business process and then illustrates how each oracle module is used in that business process. Instead of just talking about what each modules can do, the authors have tried to blend plain functional content along with the discussion of oracle specific implementation of that process, which would help even novices to understand why something is done in oracle in the way it is done. One example is the way they discuss "Enterprise Structure" in the second chapter, starting from the Enterprise at the top, going down all the way up to Stock Locators. Another good thing is that the authors have used logical data models to illustrate certain areas of the mfg. and SCM modules. There are also lots of table references through the book. This will be of interest for someone who is doing custom reports. Finally, I've found that similar books lack in the number and accuracy (filled with appropriate data) of screenshots. This one has numerous screenshots that aid in better understanding of the subject being discussed.

Summary: Operations & Oracle E-Business
Review: The right cross-section of credible authors (development and pre/post sales consulting) has created an outstanding reference book of Oracle's supply chain suite of applications. Currently, in the marketplace, there are no books covering this topic nor do I expect any group of authors to cover the breadth of this topic with such depth and clarity. What I particularly liked was the extensive use of visuals, tables & screen shots to keep people like me with butterfly attention spans engaged. Additionally, the author's covered hot topics such as Oracle's demand planning, advanced supply chain planning, warehouse management and intelligence applications. People that would find the book useful include: post-sales consultants, pre-sales consultants (Oracle and Oracle competitors), project managers, functional users (particularly super-users), application selection decisionmakers, developers (particularly Oracle competitors) and resume architects.

Summary: Excellent Book for Supply Chain Management
Review: This book explains in detail how the real world business processes are incorporated in Oracle Applications. Helps persons who don't have prior knowledge in oracle manufacturing and Supply chain management and want to get into the ERP. Gives broad knowledge of manufacturing and supply chain management concepts, starting from enterprise structure to all the business processes involved in corporate management. Modules are covered in the sequence of business flow. Helps technical people, who work in oracle applications gets clear picture of business flows. Functional people get clear understanding of the data structure by ER diagrams and database table information. Appropriate screenshots are provided wherever it is needed for better understanding. I strongly recommend to have this book for better understanding of oracle manufacturing modules.
