Factory Physics

Rate this book
This book provides comprehensive introduction to Manufacturing Management, and covers the behavior laws at work in factories. It examines operating policies and strategic objectives. Hopp presents the concepts of manufacturing processes and controls within a "physics" or "laws of nature" analogy - a novel approach. There is enough quantitative material for an engineer's course, as well as narrative that a management major can understand and apply.

This books gets into the meat of Lean and Theory Of Constraints to explain the good and not so good of each. Its a very difficult read as it contains lots of formulas and physics!

But worth it. Reading it for the second time.
