Hello all:
I am a student of Production Engineering at the EAFIT University of
Medellin, Colombia and I am looking for manufacturing models
(referred to different techniques and policies such as Just in Time,
MRP, etc) that I could use for my grade project and have some
application in the industry.
Thanks.

A classic work here is Forresters _Industrial_Dynamics_ (1961). Though it
doesnt directly refer to JIT, MRP, etc., its a must-read. The book is
available from Productivity Press, and one of its models (Chapter 15) is
available on my web site at:
http://home.earthlink.net/~tomfid/models/models.html
See the "Recent Additions" section. PLE users will discover that the model
incorporates a macro (used to replicate the DYNAMO CLIP function) that
requires more advanced versions of Vensim. Ill try to post a copy for PLE
that replaces the CLIPs with IFTHENELSE statements soon.
