Description

From the award-winning developers of Factory Physics―a powerful leadership guide for breakthrough performance

A comprehensive guide that cuts through the hodgepodge of copycat initiatives, overblown buzzwords, confusing mathematics, and misguided software, Factory Physics for Managers is a breath of fresh air for operations managers and executives.

Written by the leaders and experts in the back of the bestselling Factory Physics, it’s a brilliant crash course in the practical science of operations designed to help you:

  • Achieve best imaginable profit, cash waft, and customer service
  • Attain highest return with existing Lean, Six Sigma, and ERP initiatives
  • Manage your capacity, inventory, response time, and variability with high predictability
  • Simplify management of complexity using existing IT systems
  • Use the fundamentals of science to ensure your operation’s success
  • See your company and procedures more clearly
  • Improve intuition, decision making, and strategy execution

A strategy of imitation is not much of a strategy. Most every company uses the common continuous improvement initiatives. This highly accessible guide addresses but goes beyond other business approaches such as Lean, Six Sigma, and Theory of Constraints by offering a customizable plan that you’ll be able to apply to any manufacturing-based industry or supply chain.

You’ll discover invaluable tools for developing operations strategy and driving execution by using practical science to assess your procedures, target problems, and find solutions. You’ll learn essential life lessons from the best―and worst―practices of corporate leaders like Toyota and Boeing. You’ll find ingenious new ways to support your leadership by predictively managing the tradeoffs that every operation faces―whether it’s more or less inventory or capacity, higher or lower customer service, or more or fewer products.

Using this approach, you’ll be able to tackle these natural conflicts in business through a practical, comprehensive science of operations.

Factory Physics for Managers makes it easier to make a choice and execute the best strategy for better productivity―and even bigger profits.
