Overview
The Distribution Resource Planning
Assessment is for manufacturing companies with a distribution network,
distribution companies with light manufacturing, and distributors looking to
implement DRP in their business operations, or for companies that have already
implemented DRP systems but did not get the operating results they were looking
for. The assessment is also for companies looking for substantial improvement

performance and how their business is integrating DRP, ERP, Lean Business, and
Supply Chain Management concepts into an overall business strategy.
