You'll learn how to deploy your company resources to maximum efficiency, produce higher quality products, and understand how to identify and correct problems that become obstacles to sustaining profitability.

Addresses important topics of DFM, including how it relates to Concurrent Engineering, management issues, getting started in DFM, how to justify using DFM, applying quality tools and how DFM is affecting computer technology (and vice versa). Covers topics starting with the creative thinking process, to combining DFM with geometrical dimensioned tolerancing. Also includes product design information that designers should know when committing pen to paper or mouse to mat.

Engineers, corporate managers, project managers, and production managers will use Manufacturing Management to answer important planning questions, manage new systems and technologies, and to integrate design, engineering, and manufacturing to bring products to market faster at the most competitive cost. 

Volume 5 also helps you focus on management' s role in quality programs such as setting objectives, monitoring outcomes, and how to make continuous quality improvements while reducing quality costs.

Quality Control and Assembly helps you meet today's competitive pressures for measuring quality, making continuous quality improvements, streamlining assembly, and making the transition to automated assembly systems and applications.

Volume 3 helps you and your production team use new materials, choose the most efficient surface and edge preparation techniques, and apply coatings that enhance the appearance and performance of your final product. You'll use this book to analyze the machinability, formability and weldability of your materials, and to help assess heat treatment systems, coating processes and materials, application and curing methods, and more.

You'll rely on Forming to help you understand over 50 forming processes plus the advantages, limitations, and operating parameters for each process. Save valuable production time and gain a competitive edge with practical data that covers both the basics and advanced forming processes.
