Preface:

The third volume of the Third Edition of the Mechanical Engineers’ Handbook comprises two parts: Manufacturing and Management. Each part contains 12 chapters. Contributors include business owners, consultants, lawyers, librarians, and academics from all around the United States. Part 1 opens with a chapter from the second edition on Product Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM&A). The centerpiece of Part 1 includes the chapters that in earlier editions of the handbook have been called ‘‘the handbook within the handbook.’’ Developed by a team at Louisiana State University and the University of Louisville, these

six chapters, which have been updated, span manufacturing topics from production planning, production processes and equipment, metal forming, shaping, and casting, statistical quality control, computer-integrated manufacturing, to material handling. The chapter on classifi cation systems remains unchanged from earlier editions; the chapter on mechanical fasteners has been revised extensively. Part 1 has three chapters entirely new to the handbook: a chapter on physical vapor deposition, one on environmentally conscious manufacturing, and one on a new approach to dealing with process technology in the context of design, tooling, manufacturing, and quality engineering. The latter chapter is indicative of how much contributors can give of themselves. Its content is the lifeblood of its author’s consulting practice
