Oracle E-Business Suite Manufacturing & Supply Chain Management

While Gerald & Co's book may look like a good introduction to Oracle's manufacturing & supply chain management modules, it will make little sense to those who have never used the system or don't have access to it. Because I had three years of hands-on experience with Oracle's E-Business Suite, the book is useful and I'm giving it a 3-star rating.Things that Gerald & Co. could have done better: more illustrations of what they write about. There are many "bells and whistles" in the software, but the book doesn't have enough "screen shots" to show you where they're located on an Oracle "form." I'm not satisfied with the case study, which they have placed in chapter 22. There are no screen shots there either.Gerald & Co. are assuming you can navigate and know a lot of the Oracle lingo. If you are new to this, don't expect to learn it from this book. The audiences for the book are intermediate and advanced users.One could also regard this as a reference book. Use it to answer problems you encounter while using the product or better understand what's going on. In this context, I'd rate it 3 stars, too.

A comprehensive book that covers just about all supply chain operations with the Oracle ERP. This book breaks the system into bite sized topics that can either be read individually if you already have a basic understanding of the Oracle system or as an entire end to end sampling if required.I found that this book is too good to throw away even after Oracle has upgraded aspects of their systems and this is now technically obsolete. Concepts and basic instructions are still relevant, and useful even several years after first acquiring the book.Comprehensive and thorough. Recommended if you have an Oracle system in place or are contemplating implementing the Oracle Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management systems.

Excellent descriptions of all of the workings of Oracle E-Business Suite. This book is written for version 11, but r12 is basically the same, so the book still helps. In just a few days I've realized we are under-utilizing our software! Glad I bought this.

This book is written good and covers almost everything offered by Oracle 11i in SCM space, I wanted to rate this book with 5 stars, but the only thing held me was the expectation of some realistic examples and some more detail in the area of Warehouse Management System, I believe that the Inventory Management should be covered separately and not coupled with WMS in the same chapter.Anyway, the fact is that it is a wonderful book which is presented very well and is worth every cent.

It would have been better if the book had more real life examples and scenarios. Even though the book covers a lot of material, sometimes it becomes difficult to make the connection without good examples.The book seems to be a reference book rather than good learning resource. Too much details without screen shots and examples makes the reading boring sometimes.

I purchased this book as a resource to help transition from SAP to EBS when moving to a new job. I couldn't be more pleased with this book, and it was a crucial resource.The book is very readable, explaining in as plain of English as possible how each module works and interacts. The inclusion of charts and screenshots is never intrusive or gratuitous, and the content is well organized and indexed.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dan Natchek and his knowledge of Oracle solutions is unbeatable. Dan and the guys did a great job of transfering that knowledge from their heads to a book in a format that those of us looking to understand how all of the manufacturing and supply chain pieces work together can easily read and understand.

I thought its R12 but it 11i only. if you are looking for R12 buy the latest version not this. but book content is really Good.

Exhaustive in it's knowledge and well suggestive of the details pertinent. The reader would be well served having this publication in their personal library.Amazon's service on the delivery was very satisfying as well.

Good books
