Description

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

Factory Physics for Managers cuts through the hodgepodge of copycat initiatives, confusing mathematics, and misguided software to help operations managers and executives dramatically improve decision making and strategy execution. Written by the experts behind the bestselling Factory Physics, this highly anticipated follow up provides any manager with the knowledge and tools to:

Achieve best possible profit, cash flow, and customer service

Manage capacity, inventory, response time, and variability with high predictability

Simplify management of complexity using existing IT systems

Use the fundamentals of science to ensure their operation’s success

Readers will learn how to assess procedures, target problems, and find solutions. They’ll get essential life lessons from the best—and worst—practices of companies like Toyota and Boeing. And they’ll discover ingenious new ways to improve leadership effectiveness.

Factory Physics for Managers makes it easier than ever to choose and execute the best strategy for better productivity—and even bigger profits.
