Who is behind Factory Physics Inc.? What was the inspiration for/what launched the principles of Factory Physics?
Mark Spearman, Ph.D., founded Factory Physics Inc. in 2001. Since 1986, researchers at Northwestern University and the Georgia Institute of Technology have been developing a new paradigm that provides a comprehensive, scientific framework to control and optimize the fundamental operations of any manufacturing and supply chain system. The result is the Factory Physics framework that provides a practical set of solutions for manufacturing and supply chain managers and executives. In a strong endorsement for the Factory Physics approach, the National Science Foundation awarded Factory Physics Inc. more than $1 million in grants to develop the Lean Physics Support Tools software to standardize and advance the framework.
