Mechanical Engineers' Handbook has a long tradition as a single resource of valuable information related to speciality areas in the diverse industries and job functions in which mechanical engineers work. This Third Edition, the most aggressive revision to date,goes beyound the straight data, formulas, and calculations provided in other handbooks and focuses on authoritative discussions, real-world examples, and insightful analyses while covering more topics than in previous editions.
Book 3: Manufacturing and Management is comprised of two major parts covering manufacturing and management. The enterpriece of part one. "The handbook within the handbook," covers manufacturing topics related to production, metal working, statistical quality control, and computer-integrated manufacturing. Topics new to the handbook include physical vapor deposition, environmentally conscious manufacturing, and dealing with process technology in the context of design, tooling, manufacturing and quality engineering. The second part covers a broad array of topics, conveniently organized into five areas:
Project and people management
Fundamentals of financial management
Total Quality Management; registrations, certifications and awards; and safety engineering
Legal issues, including patents
Online and print information sources
