Manufacturing Process Selection Handbook: From Design to Manufacture

Swift, K. G.

Manufacturing Process Selection Handbook provides engineers and designers with process knowledge and the essential technological and cost data to guide the selection of manufacturing processes early in the product development cycle. Building on content from the authors’ earlier introductory Process Selection guide, this expanded handbook begins with the challenges and benefits of identifying manufacturing processes in the design phase and appropriate strategies for process selection. The bulk of the book is then dedicated to concise coverage of different manufacturing processes, providing a quick reference guide for easy comparison and informed decision making. For each process examined, the book considers key factors driving selection decisions, including: <ul>
<li>Basic process descriptions with simple diagrams to illustrate</li> <li>Notes on material suitability </li> <li>Notes on available process variations</li> <li>Economic considerations such as costs and production rates</li> <li>Typical applications and product examples</li> <li>Notes on design aspects and quality issues</li> </ul>
Providing a quick and effective reference for the informed selection of manufacturing processes with suitable characteristics and capabilities, Manufacturing Process Selection Handbook is intended to quickly develop or refresh your experience of selecting optimal processes and costing design alternatives in the context of concurrent engineering. It is an ideal reference for those working in mechanical design across a variety of industries and a valuable learning resource for advanced students undertaking design modules and projects as part of broader engineering programs.

Providing an understanding of what is meant by quality and its unique position in a manufacturing environment to improve competitive business performance, this text defines all the fundamental ingredients required to introduce an improvement in quality. Concise and easy to read, the theory is backed up by numerous industrial experiences, illustrating the practical obstacles when implementing any quality change. Focusing on the essentials of quality (strategies, principles and techniques) designing for quality is also discussed and new techniques for assessing the risks and costs of non-conformance are introduced. The result is an insight to quality engineering that will prove invaluable to engineering students and professionals. Inclusion of case studiesUseful for university staff, practising engineers and managers interested in effecting a quality improvementAlso ideal for undergraduates and postgraduates of engineering and business studies

Selecting the candidate process and tuning a design to get the best out of a chosen manufacturing route is fundamental to achieving the required cost and quality objectives in the manufacture of any component design. The failure to make these difficult decisions often results in costly changes late in the manufacturing cycle. The difficulties faced at this late stage are frequently due to a lack of the necessary detailed knowledge and the absence of process selection methods. In this unique text, the authors provide all the relevant technological and economic data on a range of important manufacturing processes. These Process Information Maps (PRIMAs) provide detailed data on the characteristics and capabilities of 48 processes in a standard format. Process tolerance capability charts for key material types are also given, and a method for estimating component costs, based on other design characteristics and manufacturing process routes, is outlined in the final chapter. The result is a comprehensive overview of each of the key considerations required when choosing the optimum manufacturing process, providing all those new to process selection with a definitive guide. For professional engineers, this book will become an invaluable source of reference throughout their career.

As manufacturing businesses world-wide face fierce competition and operate in rapidly changing markets, customers are demanding higher quality products and ever more competitive prices and delivery times. This concise and easy to read text, based upon actual experience, defines the fundamental ingredients required to introduce quality improvement into an organization. The book opens with a discussion of past and present concepts of quality, and provides a working definition of the term. The role of the management and workforce in improving quality is emphasized, as is the need for training to bring about any cultural change. A major objective of the book is to highlight the importance of designing quality into a product rather than relying on inspection procedures, and the reader is given an insight into effecting a quality change, which is relevant to both large and small companies, and into future developments in this subject area. Each chapter includes descriptions of actual industrial experiences that illustrate the practical obstacles to implementing quality improvements. Stressing throughout the need for a fundamental change in the culture of an organization, the book will be equally useful for practising engineers and managers as well as all students of engineering and management.

Effecting a Quality Change: An Engineering Approach

wiley

An introduction to process selection using an approach based on the selection of candidate processes supported by details of their characteristics, capabilities, and cost considerations before applying these candidate processes to specific components with individual properties and characteristics.

Designing Capable and Reliable Products offers an introduction to the importance of capability, quality and reliability in product development. It introduces the concept of capable design, focusing on producing designs that meet quality standards and also looks at linking component manufacture and its process capability with failure rates. It provides an introduction to reliable design, incorporating the probabilistic concept of reliability into the product design. This quantitative and highly practical volume provides practical methods for analysing mechanical designs with respect to their capability and reliability. Practising engineers who have to hit definite standards for design will find this book invaluable, as it outlines methods which use physically significant data to quanitify engineering risks at the design stage. By obtaining more realistic measures of design performance, failure costs can be reduced. Taking product design as its central theme, this book is a very useful tool for postgraduate students as well as professional engineers.

Designing Capable and Reliable Products

Raines, M.

The definitive practical guide to choosing the optimum manufacturing process, written for students and engineers. Process Selection provides engineers with the essential technological and economic data to guide the selection of manufacturing processes. This fully revised second edition covers a wide range of important manufacturing processes and will ensure design decisions are made to achieve optimal cost and quality objectives. Expanded and updated to include contemporary manufacturing, fabrication and assembly technologies, the book puts process selection and costing into the context of modern product development and manufacturing, based on parameters such as materials requirements, design considerations, quality and economic factors. Key features of the book include: manufacturing process information maps (PRIMAs) provide detailed information on the characteristics and capabilities of 65 processes and their variants in a standard format; process capability charts detailing the processing tolerance ranges for key material types; strategies to facilitate process selection; detailed methods for estimating costs, both at the component and assemby level. The approach enables an engineer to understand the consequences of design decisions on the technological and economic aspects of component manufacturing, fabrication and assembly. This comprehensive book provides both a definitive guide to the subject for students and an invaluable source of reference for practising engineers.
