A study of the MRP implementation process
基于大规模调查，分析了MRP实施中常见问题，并用判别分析找出影响成败的关键因素，适合关注系统实施的管理者和研究者。
Abstract This paper reports on a large‐scale survey of companies involved in MRP implementation. Survey responses are used to develop a profile of problems typically encountered during the implementation process. Discriminant analysis is used to determine which of those problems, and additional factors, appear to affect the success or failure of MRP implementation. Finally, comparisons are made between the problems encountered during implementation and problems which were found to significantly discriminate between successful and unsuccessful MRP implementors.
