This introduction to manufacturing management considers historical practices and the natural behaviour laws at work in factories, before going on to examine operating policies and strategic objectives. Recent trends and issues, including JIT concepts, TQM and the theory of constraints are covered.

Factory Physics 3/e is structured into three parts: historical lessons, factory physics, and practical principles. It uniquely combines scientific approaches to manufacturing and supply chain management, linking Lean Manufacturing, MRP/ERP, Six Sigma, and SCM. The text offers a cohesive strategy for achieving manufacturing efficiency.

Provides comprehensive Introduction to Manufacturing Management, and covers the behavior laws at work in factories. This book examines operating policies and strategic objectives. It presents the concepts of manufacturing processes and controls within a physics or laws of nature analogy.
