A very special thanks to Lou Thompson at the University of Texas-
Dallas, who helped to create the instructor’s manual and supplements, and to
Ross Hightower from Texas A&M, who assisted us greatly with the Material
Planning chapter.
Finally, we wish to recognize the efforts of Beth Lang Golub, Mike Berlin,
Elizabeth Mills, and their colleagues at Wiley for keeping us moving and get-
ting this book completed.
Writing a book can be stressful at times, especially for the authors’ fami-
lies. Their patience and encouragement throughout this long and arduous pro-
cess have been invaluable. They have our deepest gratitude and appreciation.
We are very grateful to Don Bulmer and Bob Lobue for their executive
support for this book at SAP, with an extra special thanks to Charla Pachucki
from SAP Education for ensuring that we stayed true to the SAP material.
