Book Overview

This book provides a common sense computer-oriented, deterministic manufacturing approach, which employs statistics but does not require a background in this area, theoretical mathematics or computer science to understand and apply.

In a clear, easy-to-read style, this reference text highlights critical parameters that have a major impact upon process quality and identifies sensors for parameter monitoring; discusses appropriate applications of deterministic techniques to many manufacturing situations ranging from simple to complex; includes chapter summaries, helpful illustrations and numerous citations to enhance comprehension and facilitate further research.

Written from the perspective of a practitioner who knows how to make parts; presenting practical solutions to manufacturing problems, it is essential reading for industrial, quality control, electrical and electronics, mechanical, manufacturing and systems engineers/managers and undergraduate and graduate-level students in the above areas.
