From the award-winning developers of Factory Physics--a leadership guide for breakthrough productivity

In the past, executive management of operations has typically involved a hodgepodge of copycat initiatives, mathematics, and software--and hoping for the best.

Factory Physics for Managers provides a fundamental science in a practical framework that will immediately improve executives’ and managers’ intuition, provide a clearer view of their company and its operations, and enable them to lead their organizations much more effectively. The book explains the relationships between capacity, inventory, response time, and variability--and then shows how managers can use those relationships to design and execute strategic business plans.

“A superb book on what every business leader and manager needs to know about Factory Physics and logistics.”
William “Gus” Pagonis, Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired)

“Shows, in an easy to understand format, how the science behind lean initiatives can greatly improve results in terms of productivity and resources.”
Bill Fierle, Vice President & General Manager, TopWorx, Emerson

“Brings powerful, accessible science to operations management. The Factory Physics playbook enables me to lead the harnessing of our data more effectively for modeling, planning, control, and feedback. Armed with the concepts, common language and tools in this book, I can partner with Operations’ leadership to impact the bottom line.”
Jeffrey Korman, CIO, Hu-Friedy Mfg LLC, Chicago

"Factory Physics for Managers is a proven path to flawless execution and results. Leading vs. following in our industry is predicated on the relentless pursuit of putting order to chaos. Factory Physics science and CSUITE software have given our organization the ability to plan, predict, model and execute based on explosive growth and rapid-fire, dynamic changes to our business model. In our case, history is not a good predictor of the future, so we need to deploy our resources wisely and the Factory Physics approach has helped us do just that."
