DESCRIPTION:
"A Practical Scientific Framework for Supply Chain Management" according to Scot Johnson. This is a great book! This book extends the insights developed in the classic manufacturing text "Factory Physics" by Hopp and Spearman. Hopp and Spearman's original goal was to develop a scientific framework for the management of manufacturing and supply chains. This book extends the technical insights of the original text with guidance on how to implement this management framework in actual businesses. It starts with an overview of the scientific principles of how supply chains work, by explaining the three key equations. The primary book is filled with useful detail and equations - but that doesn't always work I've always been a fan of Factory Physics and have used the concepts extensively. The primary book is filled with useful detail and equations - but that doesn't always work when faced with trying to convince others about the benefits. This book brings the same concepts up a level so that you can talk to your manager and your manager's peers about the benefits of applying factory physics. The book does a great job combining practical concepts in Lean, Operations Management, Finance, Business and Leadership into a very reada. CH said Great book - the new must read for manufacturers. There are now "Great book - the new must read for manufacturers" according to CH. There are now 2 books every manufacturer must read - "The Goal" and Factory Physics. A great book - material covered is essential for anyone working as a manager in a manufacturing facility. I am a student of lean and think it is a wonderful philosophy - however, it can do nothing for you if you don't understand the fundamentals outlined in this book. So many companies try to implement lean and fail - not because lean doesn't work - but because lean requires a healthy foundation to build on. Factory Physics will help you b. books every manufacturer must read - "The Goal" and Factory Physics.
