ERP class "A" implementation toolkit All the help a manufacturing company needs to achieve class "A" with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) or manufacturing resource planning (MRPII) system (using Clickbank)

Welcome to BPIC's ERP class "A" implementation toolkit.

If you do not want to purchase my ERP Class "A" implementation toolkit using PayPal you can purchase it through ClickBank.  For size reasons at ClickBank the toolkit does not include the audio visual Business Excellence Fundamentals presentation and so is less expensive.

** To purchase the Class "A" toolkit through ClickBank for US$45.00 (+ tax) click here . **

This toolkit is designed to help companies who either have implemented an enterprise resource planning (ERP) or manufacturing resource planning (MRPII) system or are thinking of implementing a system. Ideally the toolkit should be used by a person who has some experience of implementing or using a planning system or has recently attended an education course on the subject.

Class "A" is the top classification on the internationally recognised ABCD checklist, a way to benchmark your manufacturing planning and control processes. Experience has shown that when companies reach a Class "A" level of performance they achieve significant business benefits along with increased market share and profitability. You will find a free copy of the ABCD checklist, an analysis that you can use to compare your answers with other companies around the world and a free assessment service at www.bpic.co.uk/abcd.htm.

The toolkit is based around a comprehensive implementation checklist. To achieve class "A" you open the checklist and work down it. The ERP class "A" toolkit will link you to all the resources below as you need them to complete the implementation or re-implementation successfully.
