Principles Of Engineering Manufacture

The third edition of this text, formerly known as Principles of Engineering Production, has been thoroughly revised and updated and continues to provide students with a comprehensive overview of the technical considerations for the entire manufacturing process. In keeping with the developments in manufacturing technology, this new edition reflects the major advances in recent years, in particular, looking at the transition to computer controlled machinery and the developments in computer applications.Beginning with specification and standardisation, it analyses the key aspects of the manufacturing process and pays particular attention to the crucial considerations of quality and cost. In addition, the coverage of materials has been extended to account for the increased availability and complexity of non-metals. The addition of a number of case studies, new worked examples and problems, make this text an invaluable introduction to engineering manufacture. It is also a useful and straightforward reference text for the professional engineer.

Offers instruction in manufacturing engineering management strategies to help the student optimize future manufacturing processes and procedures. This edition includes innovations that have changed management's approach toward the uses of manufacturing engineering within the business continuum.

Principles of Economics and Management for Manufacturing Engineering combines key engineering economics principles and applications in one easy to use reference. Engineers, including design, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers are frequently involved in economics-related decisions, whether directly when selecting materials or indirectly when managers make order quantity decisions based on their work. Having a knowledge of the management and economic activities that touch on engineering work is a core part of most foundational engineering qualifications and becomes even more important in industry. Covering a wide range of management and economic topics from the point-of-view of an engineer in industry, this reference provides everything needed to understand the commercial context of engineering work. Covers the full range of basic economic concepts as well as engineering economics topics Includes end of chapter questions and chapter summaries that make this an ideal self-study resource Provides step-by-step instructions for cost accounting for engineers

Provides a taxonomy of manufacturing processes and discusses general characteristics of the 10 fundamental families, such as mass-reducing, joining, hardening, and surface treatment. The individual processes themselves are described in the companion Reference Guide. Well illustrated. No bibliography. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This book has been written for engineers and managers to assist them in understanding and improving systems of organization. It provides a review of principles and some analysis of examples drawn from a range of engineering activities. Alternatives are reviewed and their potential advantages and disadvantages compared. The book introduces the principle of designing and organization to suit the work that is its primary task, and the cycle of activities common to new products, structures and other projects that are typical of any engineering project is considered.

Fully revised and updated, this book is a complete and detailed reference tool that offers the user a lifetime of knowledge and experience in one document. The third edition has added information on Project Management, Time Standards, Personnel Appraisal, Lean Manufacturing, and expanded treatment of Probability and Statistics. Summaries and review questions at the end of each chapter ensure the understanding and retention of the material presented.
