These look like nice packages but I wouldn't quite categorize them as MRP systems. In addition to the standard accounting modules (payables, receivables, payroll, general ledger, fixed assets, etc.) and some inventory control modules (inventory, sales, purchasing, etc.) an MRP system needs a few more manufacturing modules (work order, backflush, repetitive scheduling (esp. in the automotive industry,) capacity planning, production line planning, shipping, BOM/routings, requirements planning, business-to-business EDI/Ecommerce etc.) I think your best bet is to convince a company to allow their older, obsolete, closed-source systems to become open-source. I'm sure there are several example companies that do this but I can only think of Sendmail, Inc. Maybe a few other examples would add a bit of weight to the request. "Sendmail is the most successful and most widely used e-mail system in the world and the reason is, in no small part, due to the fact that their older versions are open and free to download." What other companies can we suggest that have had similar success? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
