About this title

Synopsis

All About Manufacturing Fundamentals is a comprehensive, math-free practical guidebook for students, managers, and professionals across the manufacturing sector to provide an essential understanding of core manufacturing processes. It's not intended to train readers in machine operation, but rather to equip them with the knowledge needed to effectively support shop floor personnel. With over 400 images and illustrations, this book will show you the width of modern manufacturing technology. The book covers fundamental aspects of the most relevant production processes, including

-Processing Industry: The processing of steel, aluminum, and oil.

-Primary Shaping: Casting, injection molding, sintering, and 3D printing.

-Forming: Forging, rolling, deep drawing, bending, and more.

-Cutting: Turning, milling, grinding, lapping, plasma cutting, and more.

-Joining: Riveting, welding, soldering, glueing, screwing, and more.

-Coating: Painting, dip coating, powder coating, electroplating, and more.

-Changing Material Properties: Annealing, hardening, and tempering.

Furthermore, the book provides an introduction to product development, including technical drawings, tolerances, and the bill of materials (BOM). It also covers the important topic of quality management, including quality control, quality analysis, and quality improvement.

Finally, it provides a useful guide to shop floor etiquette-often carelessly neglected, yet so helpful if you want to celebrate success together WITH your shop floor people. So, take the time to learn about how to behave on the shop floor; how to protect yourself, your team, the product, and the environment; and most importantly, how to use soft skills for the shop floor!
