Factory Physics, Second edition PDF Book

After a brief introductory chapter, the book is organized into three parts: Part I, The Lessons of History; Part II, Factory Physics; and Part III, Principles in Practice. In our own teaching, we generally cover Parts I, II, and III in order, but vary the selection of specific topics depending on the course. Regardless of the audience, we try to cover Part II completely, as it represents the core of the factory physics approach. Because it makes extensive use of pull production systems, we make sure to cover Chapter 4 on "The JIT Revolution" prior to beginning Part II. Finally, to provide an integrated framework for carrying the factory physics concepts into the real world, we regard Chapter 13, "A Pull Planning Framework," as extremely important. Beyond this, the individual instructor can select historical topics from Part I, applied topics from Part III, or additional topics from supplementary readings to meet the needs of a specific audience. The instructor is also faced with the choice of how much mathematical depth to use. To assist readers who want general concepts with minimal mathematics, we have set off certain sections as Technical Notes. These sections, which are labeled and indented in the text, presentjustification, examples, or methodologies that rely on mathematics (although nothing higher than simple calculus). These sections can be skipped completely without loss of continuity. In teaching this material to both engineering and management students, we have found, not surprisingly, that management students are less interested in the mathematical aspects of factory physics than are engineering students. However, we have not found management students to be averse to mathematics; it is math without a concrete purpose to which they object. When faced with quantitative developments of core manufacturing ideas, these students not only are capable of grasping the math, but also are able to appreciate the practical consequences of the theory. keep visiting our site to download Engineering free pdf books by Hopp, W.J., Spearman, M.L. rapidshare mediafire and to get Factory Physics, Second edition fro megaupload or torrent.
