This is a good reference book for SAP Production Planning and Control if you are looking to get certified. Also good for end-users that want to explore different functionalities of SAP boms/routings.
I bought the book a year ago. I read it at least twice. I still refer to it time to time. No one would argue that the processes of production planning and production control can be quite complex. The authors chose to be straightforward. Illustrations are hypothetical examples based on the production of air-conditioning systems. I like the concise and practical presentation throughout. Inherent restriction is limited scope and lack of detail. I consider it as tradeoff. If those authors publish another book on process industry, I will definitely buy it.
* I have a suggestion. It just shows t-code for relevant IMG setting. I like customizing path instead. I suspect other readers also want to get familiarize with the tree structured menu of IMG. I can look at transaction code once I get there. The other way around is kind of tricky.
