内容简介
《工厂物理学》的作者是美国西北大学的W.J.Hopp教授和佐治亚理工学院的M.L.Spearman教授，是生产运作管理领域的知名学者，都是学物理出身，在多年实践经验和理论研究的基础上，以独特的视角与思维方式对发生在制造企业中的现象和本质进行了透彻的分析和系统的总结，以类似于物理学中定律定理的方式给出了准确的定性描述或定量计算公式。书中不仅对生产管理的发展历史和现状、取得的成就和问题等进行了精辟的总结和分析，而且紧密跟踪当前最先进的方法和技术，并预测了今后的发展趋势。
该书不同于一般的教科书，一方面涉猎范围极宽，广泛介绍了生产领域的概念、方法、技术及实践效果；另一方面对重点问题进行了极为深入细致的研究，探究了事物的本质，提出了独到的见解。该书的起点较高，适合作为“生产系统”和“运作管理”方面的研究生课程的主教材。对本科生教学，可以作为“生产运作管理”、“生产计划与控制”、“设施规划与物流分析”、“质量管理”等课程的主要参考书。
