ABSTRACT

We have come to the concluding chapter of the book. Having discussed the shortcomings and limitations of the statistical inventory control models and selective inventory control approaches and presented the MRP-based maintenance resources management model, which, in turn, has been effectively supported by real-life case applications, given in Chapter 4, and the decision support system in Chapter 5, we are now ready to sum up and conclude. In this chapter, we will initially present a summary of the work done-specifically a grand summary of Chapters 3-5-and this will be followed by two sections. The first of these two sections will address the implementation issues and the second section will present directions for further research in the area of MRP-based maintenance resources management.
