The Impact of MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning) II Implementation at Ogden Air Logistics Center on Future Air Force Logistics Command Implementations

Abstract

The research examines Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) implementation at the Ogden Air Logistics Center (OOALC), Hill AFB, Utah. This study is a follow-up to a 1988 thesis which focused specifically on the Industrial Products and Landing Gear Division at OOALC. The research is divided into three areas: an historical perspective of the implementation; analysis of previously identified problem areas: and a discussion on success probability. Each area is analyzed based on primary and secondary data. The research concludes that while the personal commitment and abilities of those involved with the project are exemplary, the plan and constraints on the implementation may undermine the chances of project success. Keywords: Military theses; Management; Logistics planning; Logistics management. (kt)
