The textbook on “Workshop/ Manufacturing Practices” is designed to cater the needs of young minds of 21 century. The AICTE model curriculum and National Education Policy has driven a new wave in the technical education. The textbook is designed not only to cater the need of the syllabus but also to look things in a different perspective. The Workshop is the place where the core of learning about different materials, equipment, tools and techniques takes place. Basically the workshop used to prepare the small components by hand tools. Sometimes they may be parts of the large machines or may may be parts for replacement/repairs. In this text book an attempt has been made to connect the conventional tools usage to advanced machine tools usage. The relevant practical examples are quoted to make the readers more comfortable with product and processes. The blooms taxonomy is fallowed in construction of each chapters and exercises. The objective and multiple questions with higher order thinking may help the readers to not only to face the semester end exam even they may help in competitive and other examinations. Salient Features: l Manufacturing Methods l CNC Machining, Additive manufacturing l Fitting operations & power tools l Electrical & Electronic l Carpentry l Plastic mounding, glass cutting l Metal casting l Welding (arc welding & gas welding), brazing l Laboratory experiments and models l Appendices l References

This comprehensive text is primarily designed for BE/BTech students of mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, and production engineering. This text consists of 11 chapters covering concepts and techniques of process planning and cost estimation. The text is supported by well-labelled diagrams and case studies. The book contains solved problems that facilitates students to understand the concepts quickly. At the end of each chapter, theoretical questions and applicable numerical problems are given to test the understanding of the readers. Key features • Includes classification and coding systems with fitting examples • Contains a complete account of work study • Provides detailed coverage of process planning • Gives formulas of mensuration for material cost estimation • Introduces different manufacturing processes in relevant chapters

Process Planning covers the selection of processes, equipment, tooling and the sequencing of operations required to transform a chosen raw material into a finished product. Initial chapters review materials and processes for manufacturing and are followed by chapters detailing the core activities involved in process planning, from drawing interpretation to preparing the final process plan. The concept of maximising or 'adding value' runs throughout the book and is supported with activities.Designed as a teaching and learning resource, each chapter begins with learning objectives, explores the theory behind process planning, and sets it in a 'real-life' context through the use of case studies and examples. Furthermore, the questions in the book develop the problem-solving skills of the reader.ISO standards are used throughout the book (these are cross-referenced to corresponding British standards).This is a core textbook, aimed at undergraduate students of manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering with manufacturing options and materials science. - Features numerous case studies and examples from industry to help provide an easy guide to a complex subject - Fills a gap in the market for which there are currently no suitable texts - Learning aims and objectives are provided at the beginning of each chapter - a user-friendly method to consolidate learning

Tompkins/White/Bozer/Tanchoco is the leading facilities planning book on the market, today. Its blending of breadth and depth of coverage are unmatched. Thousands of engineering students and practitioners have used the book to prepare them to design new facilities and expand or renovate existing facilities. The book combines applied aspects with proven quantitative methodologies. It carries the reader through the entire process of planning facilities, regardless of the application settings for the facilities.

Parametric optimization, especially in machining of non-ferrous alloys seems to be quite rare and needs an immediate attention because of its associated downstream financial and non-financial losses. This book tries to fill the gap and presents an optimization problem of commonly used Al-7020 Alloy. Principles of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) have been implemented through Minitab software to bring necessary multi-response optimization, while turning on a CNC turner. The present study focuses on to enhance Material Removal Rate (MRR) while simultaneously reducing the Surface Roughness (Ra), during turning of Al-alloy. Such opposite natured response optimization is much difficult to achieve, particularly when uncoated carbide tip has been used as a cutting tool. Intensive literature survey helps to pin point parameters like; Cutting Speed, Feed Rate and Depth of Cut as a most critical to machining parameters, as far as effective and efficient optimization of selected responses are concerned. All these control-parameters are directly or inversely related to each other. If the depth of cut is increased MRR increases at the same time we get poor surface finish. Increase in the cutting speed has positive impact on both material removal rate and surface finish. Shortlisted parameters are conflicting, so we have to optimize these for further enhancement of the overall turning performance. At last, the optimized results are verified by using ANOVA as a statistical tool. This book provides quite rare Case-study of multi-response optimization (while non-ferrous CNC turning) to practioners, machinists and SME owners appropriately.

Provides up-to-date information on computer-aided manufacturing from selection and installation to operation in a world-class manufacturing environment. Includes a wide range of process planning applications, shows how to use computer-automated process planning data, and reviews newly emerging techn

This book presents examples of numeracy applications developed in a wide range of courses in a Further Education college in Wales. The numeracy case studies are not limited to simple arithmetic and tasks involving shape and space, but include more advanced topics such as: statistical analysis, mathematical modelling, calculus and design of algorithms. A broad definition of numeracy is adopted by the authors, in line with the range of numeracy skills expected and valued by employers. In addition to a knowledge of mathematical techniques, numeracy is considered to include: problem solving, especially in the design of solutions to non-routine tasks; communication of mathematical results in formats which are suitable for the intended audience and facilitate decision making; an ability to use computer technology to collect and process data; and a familiarity with number which allows appropriate levels of accuracy to be chosen, estimates made and errors detected.
