Activity Based Planning ; an article written by Jacques Selders about the Activity Based Planning (ABP) concept as counter concept against MRPI/MRPII.
MRPI/MRPII , concepts which were developped and described by people like Orlicky and Plossl & Whight in the early seventies of the last century. The last 4 decades purchasers and material planners working with ERP systems and planning concepts like MRPI/MRPII in their ERP system have had many drawbacks from working with this. The acticle Activity Based Planning, based upon the ERP system Infor ERP Visual, in the early nineties developped by Lilly Software and now one of the ERP systems and packages by Infor, tries to show how, when ABP is embedded and properly used in your ERP system, you can get rid of those MRP drawbacks.
