Synopsis

Practical guide to making interchangeable manufacturing pay off

Principles of Interchangeable Manufacturing offers practical guidance on designing, building, and inspecting parts so they fit together reliably across shops.

It explains how to plan for service after sale, how to test assemblies, and how to manage costs without sacrificing quality. The book also discusses organizing departments, measuring labor and equipment costs, and using data to improve products and processes.

Inside you’ll find a clear framework for distributing overhead, estimating machine-hour costs, and applying specific product charges to parts and tools. It covers the role of inspections, gages, and drawings in ensuring accuracy, and it argues for thoughtful, economical design choices that reduce changes and waste while boosting performance.

• How to classify costs and assign them to labor, equipment, and products for realistic budgeting.
• Methods for measuring performance with gages, inspections, and test practices that protect the customer and the maker’s reputation.
• Strategies for designing fixtures, jigs, and tools to speed production and improve interchangeability.
• Guidance on applying the principles to both small-quantity and larger-scale manufacturing environments.

Ideal for engineers, shop managers, and purchasing personnel who want to understand how to achieve reliable, economical interchangeability in real-world production.
