Food Products Manufacturing using Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

Managing Food Products Manufacturing explains how Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 supports the unique business practices for supply chain management in the food product industries. The targeted reader includes those individuals implementing or considering Dynamics AX as their ERP system, as well as those providing consulting assistance. As the seventh book in my series about Microsoft Dynamics AX, it reflects the evolving software functionality and my evolving understanding of using the software. It extends three previous books about supply chain management in a broad cross-section of manufacturing and distribution firms. These books covered previous releases of Dynamics AX 3.0, AX 4.0 and AX 2009. In contrast with a broad approach, this book focuses on just one industry food products manufacturing in terms of book topics and case studies. A similar focus characterized my three previous books about process manufacturing, lean manufacturing and wholesale distribution. As a unique approach, this book includes the typical business processes using the standards for business process mapping - that represent best practices and dominant business models for using AX 2012 to manage the supply chain in food product businesses. The book provides detailed explanations for each step within these business processes.
