Factory Physics is appropriate for the second-level course in manufacturing management at the better business schools, for undergraduate industrial engineering majors, and for professional engineers and managers. It has been thoroughly classroom tested by the authors in a series of two-day industry short courses and in operations management/management science courses at Northwestern.
