Christian, Sharan Foga did an update on the book regarding Manufacturing with OFBiz.
It can be found here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/sharan-foga/getting-started-with-apache-ofbiz-manufacturing-mrp/paperback/product-21280140.html < http://www.lulu.com/shop/sharan-foga/getting-started-with-apache-ofbiz-manufacturing-mrp/paperback/product-21280140.html > Unfortunately, the list of books in cwiki isn't up to date. Otherwise you would have found the reference there as well.
