The Missing Links: A Demand Driven Supply Chain Detective
Novel
By Caroline Mondon July 2016, 300 pp., ISBN: 978-0-8311-3607-9,
$34.95
This utterly unique how-to supply chain management industry guide
is written as a detective novel to engage readers. The book builds
suspense around the mysteries and conflicts of its main characters
at the same time that it reveals the problems threatening to
undermine the small factory where they all work. The Missing Links
takes a case study of a small factory whose owner has passed away
under suspicious circumstances, leaving his daughter in charge. She
encounters a multitude of problems—high work-in-progress inventory,
poor working conditions, conflicts between two workshops, and
longstanding customers leaving because of a decline in product
quality. The new shop owner must learn the business and figure out
a way to best solve the problems that threaten her company.
The mission of this book is to demonstrate the effectiveness and
the simplicity of the new demand driven methodologies (DDMRP). Most
common industry standards, such as “total quality,” “lean,” and
“total productive maintenance” are included, as well as “flow
management.” This book analyzes flow management as one of the
“missing links” in mak- ing a company profitable. It also
progressively introduces the foundations of the demand driven
methodology to respond to the hot topic of variability in modern
supply chains. The need to understand the changes in management
style necessary to ensure success is described as the second
“missing link.” The definition of success is the immediate
profitability of the company and the satisfac- tion of its
customers, as well as the ability of the CEO to adapt the strategy
to embrace new markets to prepare for the future and to motivate
employees and shareholders.
FEATURES: • Completely unique approach—a cross between a detective
mystery and how-to book on supply chain management • Boasts 33
full-color appendices of the standard approaches used in the novel,
updated on a regular basis • Ties in perfectly with the CDDP
program and certification offered through the Demand Driven
Institute • Written by an award-winning author and President of
Fapics, the French Association of Supply Chain Management.
TABLE OF CONTENTS: • PART I: Describes the business case associated
with a fictional small business • PART II: Analyzes the root causes
of the profitability problems faced by the small busi- ness • PART
III: Shows how best practices in Demand Driven supply chain
management can solve the problems to ensure both profitability and

Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP)
By Carol Ptak and Chad Smith July 2016, 400 pp., ISBN:
978-0-8311-3598-0, $69.95
In the 1950’s, Joseph Orlicky conceived of a planning method called
Material Requirements Planning (or MRP) that changed the world of
manufacturing forever. But times have changed—customer tolerance
times are much shorter, product variety and complex- ity has
increased, and supply chains have spread around the world.
Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) is an
emerging, revolutionary method for supply chain planning and
execution that effectively brings the 1950s concept into the modern
era. The foun- dation of DDMRP is based upon the connection between
the creation, protection and acceleration of the flow of relevant
materials and informa- tion and return on investment.
Using an innovative multi-echelon “Pull” methodology, it helps plan
and manage in- ventories and materials in today’s more complex
supply scenarios, with attention be- ing paid to ownership, the
market, engineering, sales, and the supply base. It enables a
company to build more closely to actual market requirements, and
promotes better and quicker decisions and actions at the planning
and execution level. Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning
is THE definitive work on DDMRP, and will be required as courseware
for all those taking the Certified Demand Driven Planner (CDDP)
Program.
FEATURES: • THE authoritative work on an emerging methodology
(DDMRP) • DDMRP is already being used by some MAJOR Fortune 500
companies • Includes case studies and examples for different sized
companies in multiple industries • Offers a link to courseware for
the CDDP program, as well as access to certification, where readers
can register for the exam • Ptak and Smith are world renowned
leaders in the fields of MRP, TOC, Quality Improvement, and Supply
Chain Management.

Surviving the Spare Parts Crisis: Maintenance Storeroom and
Inventory Control
By Joel Levitt November 2016, 272 pp., ISBN: 978-0-8311-3604-8,
$49.95
The maintenance spare parts business is in turmoil because of many
factors: 1. Globalization has increased competition; 2. The
Internet has caused the disintermediation of parts distribution; 3.
Technology in general has caused the rapid obsolescence of
machinery and increased the numbers of spare parts needed. The key
to uptime in manufacturing is managing risk. This work describes
how to evaluate risk in the inventory. It provides dozens of ideas
to properly reduce inventory, reduce usage, and save money in
parts, all while main- taining service levels. The author, Joel
Levitt, shows how the maintenance department can provide better
support to purchasing agents and buyers. In
the book, Levitt imparts the knowledge gained while he trained more
than 17,000 people in 25 countries who are facing problems with
their spare part inventory. This is an ideal resource for
maintenance managers, planners, and engineers; parts specialists;
supply chain managers; and anyone involved in purchasing.

and opti- mization to the extent that this one does. Spare Parts
Inventory Management covers the whole part’s life cycle, from
initial purchase to final disposal, and ad- dresses issues
throughout, including MRO—maintenance, repair, and overhaul. The
author, Phillip Slater, was described in a recent podcast as “truly
one of the leaders in the MRO information segment.” Sparesology™ is
a term coined by Slater to describe the discipline of opti- mizing
the physical, financial, and human resource management processes of
spare parts inventory management. Sparesology is much more than
just in- ventory optimization. It involves an understanding of the
complete “ecosystem” within which spare parts inventory is managed,
and seeks to ensure that all factors influencing this management
work in concert to achieve an organization’s goals.

but the contents are different. The mechanisms described are
grouped into chapters according to general types. A complete index
is arranged by function. It is easy to find the class of movement
desired and enables you to compare mechanisms that are similar in
purpose but different in design. The descriptions and illustrations
are confined to the important and fundamental elements, so that
time is not wasted on useless or irrelevant details. You are told
briefly what each mechanism consists of, how it operates, and the
features which make it of special interest. The particular
mechanisms have been selected because they have stood the test of
actual practice. Among the mechanisms described and illustrated by
work- ing diagrams are: cam applications and special cam designs;
intermittent motions from gears and cams; interlocking devices;
valve diagrams; reversing mechanisms of special design; tripping or
stop mechanisms; drives of crank type for reciprocating driven
members; feeding mechanisms and auxiliary devices; feeding and
ejecting mechanisms; and many more.

Solving Engineering Problems in Dynamics By Michael Spektor, 2014,
172 pp., ISBN 978-0-8311-3494-5, $29.95
Solving Engineering Problems in Dynamics helps practicing engineers
successfully ana- lyze real mechanical systems by presenting
comprehensive methods for analyzing the motion of engineering
systems and their components. This analysis covers three basic
phases: 1) composing the differential equation of motion; 2)
solving the differential equa- tion of motion; and 3) analyzing the
solution. Although a formal engineering education provides the
fundamental skills for completing these phases, many engineers
nonethe- less will benefit by gaining further insight in using
these fundamentals to solve real-life engineering problems. This
book thus describes in step-by-step order the methods related to
each of these phases.

Cutting Data for Turning of Steel By Edmund Isakov, 2008, 250 pp.,
ISBN 978-0-8311-3314-6, $54.95
Machining is one of the most important manufacturing processes,
which remove unwant- ed material in the form of chips from a
workpiece. Material removal operations are among the most
expensive. These high costs put tremendous economic pressures on
production managers and engineers as they struggle to find ways to
increase productivity. Machining recommendations provided in this
book cover turning since it allows removing more mate- rial per
unit of time and consuming more power at the rouging operations
than end milling, boring, or drilling. Machining recommendations
relate to cutting speeds, feed rates, and depth of cuts. Such
recommendations depend on the workpiece material properties and the
cutting tool material. Workpiece materials described in this book
are the most com- monly used grades of carbon, alloy, stainless,
tool, and maraging steels. Cutting tool materials are cemented
carbides, cermets, and ceramics.
