  We supply outstanding value to our clients through:

Lean, Six Sigma, and the Factory Physics® Framework. Factory Physics Inc. has applied Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma practices in many companies.  However, without the Factory Physics Framework, these efforts can be conflicting and ineffective.  The quotes on this page are from executives at companies that have used Lean and Six Sigma for years. These executives have leveraged the power of the Factory Physics Framework to advance continuous improvement efforts to new levels that: 

  • focus and accelerate existing efforts    
  • provide new capabilities with a set of structured software tools
  • enhance company cultural change efforts through objective understanding

Many other clients have experienced similar results.

Announcements
Factory Physics at IIE Expo 2012
April 3, 2012 -

Edward Pound, COO of Factory Physics Inc., will speak at the 2012 Industrial Engineering Conference on how to understand production systems for optimal control. So much confusion exists in industry today on what information is needed for optimal control of production systems, supply chains, and operations. A common sentiment is that optimal control requires too much data and a common response is to fall back on simple slogans like, "Eliminate Waste." The truth is that most companies already have the data they need or they wouldn't be in business. What's missing is a good understanding of the practical science of operations. Don't miss this opportunity to explore the application of practical science to increase your operations' performance and profitability. Join us in Orlando!
