2. Introduction to Statistical Quality Control

   Once solely the domain of engineers, quality control has become a vital business operation used to increase productivity and secure competitive advantage. Introduction to Statistical Quality Control offers a detailed presentation of the modern statistical methods for quality control and improvement. Thorough coverage of statistical process control (SPC) demonstrates the efficacy of statistically-oriented experiments in the context of process characterization, optimization, and acceptance sampling, while examination of the implementation process provides context to real-world applications. Emphasis on Six Sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) provides a strategic problem-solving framework that can be applied across a variety of disciplines. Adopting a balanced approach to traditional and modern methods, this text includes coverage of SQC techniques in both industrial and non-manufacturing settings, providing fundamental knowledge to students of engineering, statistics, business, and management sciences. A strong pedagogical toolset, including multiple practice problems, real-world data sets and examples, and incorporation of Minitab statistics software, provides students with a solid base of conceptual and practical knowledge.

3. DeGarmo's Materials and Processes in Manufacturing

   Classic textbook introducing key concepts in manufacturing with a focus on practical applications, updated to include the latest industry developments. For over 65 years, DeGarmo's Materials and Processes in Manufacturing has comprehensively presented both traditional and new manufacturing materials, processes, and systems in a descriptive, non-mathematical manner. Students are first introduced to a range of engineering materials, including metals, plastics and polymers, ceramics, and composites. The processes used to convert this "stuff" into "things" are then described, along with their typical applications, capabilities, and limitations. Segments cover casting, forming, machining, welding and joining, and additive manufacturing. Supporting chapters present concepts relating to material selection, heat treatment, surface finishing, measurement, inspection, and manufacturing systems. The Fourteenth Edition has been updated to reflect the most current technologies. Coverage of additive manufacturing (3D printing) has been significantly expanded, along with updates on new and advanced materials. Case studies are featured throughout the book and review problems have been placed at the end of each chapter. A full collection of online bonus material is provided for both students and instructors. DeGarmo's Materials and Processes in Manufacturing, Fourteenth Edition includes information on: * Equilibrium phase diagrams and the iron-carbon system, heat treatment, and process capability and quality control * Expendable-mold and multiple-use-mold casting processes, powder metallurgy (particulate processing), fundamentals of metal forming, and bulk-forming and sheet-forming processes * Cutting tool materials, turning and boring processes, milling, drilling and related hole-making processes, and CNC processes and adaptive control in the A(4) and A(5) levels of automation * Sawing, broaching, shaping, and filing machining processes, thread and gear manufacturing, and surface integrity and finishing processes DeGarmo's Materials and Processes in Manufacturing has long set the standard for introducing students to the materials and processes in product manufacturing, and has been incorporated in programs of manufacturing, mechanical, industrial, metallurgical, and materials engineering, as well as various technology degrees. Its descriptive nature provides an excellent first exposure to its various subjects, which may then be followed by advanced courses in specific areas. [944 Pages, Hardcover] Read More...

   
   
   
4. Manufacturing Process Planning

   Comprehensive introduction to manufacturing process planning in the context of the latest techniques being used in industry Manufacturing Process Planning is a comprehensive guide to the intricacies of the manufacturing planning process that leads readers through each stage of planning while providing practical examples that illustrate the manufacturing activities taking place at every juncture. Beginning with the fundamentals, the book bridges the gap between technical documents and product specifications, and how the information they contain can be effectively applied on the shop floor. The book focuses around four key areas: selection of manufacturing processes, process planning in sand casting, process planning in machining, and process planning in inspection. Each chapter highlights best practices for activities such as casting, mold design, machining sequence identification, geometrical validation, CNC programming, the preparation of inspection reports, and more. Special attention is paid to manufacturing cost estimation and pricing, ensuring that the production process is not only feasible but also cost-effective. To enhance the learning experience, the book comes complete with an active learning project brief and tutorial sessions covering casting simulation, pattern design, and CNC simulation using freely available software. Manufacturing Process Planning includes information on: * Fundamentals of casting, including heating the metal, pouring the molten metal, solidification and cooling, determining casting quality, and performing cleaning operations * Definition and selection of workholding systems, covering principles of workholding, types of workholding systems, and general purpose of workholding devices for turning and milling * Machine and cutting tool selection, and process parameter selection, covering specific guidelines in turning, milling, and drilling * Documents for process planning, including process flow charts, routing sheets, and operation and tooling lists Providing a hands-on approach to mastering the principles of manufacturing process planning, Manufacturing Process Planning is an ideal resource for undergraduate and graduate academic courses that incorporate a lab component, as well as production planning supervisors and managers looking to hone their knowledge base.
