This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will investigate the feasibility of a new manufacturing improvement, planning and execution system that combines the data of a supply chain management system with the incentives of the lean manufacturing philosophy along with the author's own Factory Physics knowledge base in a systematic manner. The result will be a system containing implementation methods, training, and software that is repeatable, portable, and will always result in predictable, improved manufacturing logistical performance. Understanding manufacturing measures such as cycle time, throughput, capacity, work in process, inventory, and variability allows one to develop effective control procedures that are uniquely suited for any particular manufacturing environment. This project attempts to create a system that includes benchmarking (diagnostic) tools, analysis (planning) tools, and execution tools. What makes the proposed approach different is Factory Physics, Inc.'s systematic way of improving the manufacturing operation and addressing the planning and control needs. The broader impact of this research will be a well-defined methodology to improve the effectiveness of production systems that can be marketed to the manufacturing sector. In addition, using the system will result in better-educated manufacturing managers and engineers.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将研究新的制造改进、规划和执行系统的可行性，该系统将供应链管理系统的数据与精益制造哲学的激励以及作者自己的工厂物理知识库系统地结合起来。 其结果将是一个包含实施方法、培训和软件的系统，该系统是可重复的、可移植的，并且始终会带来可预测的、改进的制造物流绩效。 了解周期时间、吞吐量、产能、在制品、库存和可变性等制造指标，可以帮助我们开发出适合任何特定制造环境的有效控制程序。 该项目试图创建一个包含基准测试（诊断）工具、分析（规划）工具和执行工具的系统。 所提出的方法的不同之处在于 FactoryPhysics, Inc. 改进制造运营并满足规划和控制需求的系统方法。 这项研究的更广泛影响将是一种明确的方法，以提高可销往制造业的生产系统的有效性。 此外，使用该系统还将培养出受过更好教育的制造经理和工程师。
