<ul>
<li> Breaks down the treatment of each process into three categories: Knowledge, Application, and Development and organizes each process family based on common characteristics.</li> <li> Comprehensively illustrates, defines, and explains each process to provide the reader with an unequaled understanding of the process and its applications.</li>
<li> Encourages an appreciation of the integration of design and manufacturing engineering activities that results in more practical, less expensive, and better designed products for the consumer. </li>

This item replaces 978-0-8311-3049-7. It is now a paperback/print-on-demand edition.
 Written by a team of educators with unmatched experience, in collaboration with a consortium of industrial representatives from Black and Decker, Boeing, Caterpillar, General Motors, Grumman, Tektronix, Texas Instruments, Westinghouse, and Xerox, Manufacturing Processes Reference Guide provides thorough descriptions of over 125 of the most important processes available to industry today. This important resource encompasses the entire spectrum of manufacturing, from "Abrasive Jet Machining" to "Wire Drawing." Used with Fundamental Principles of Manufacturing Processes, the two books provide all the information needed to identify the ideal process for a specific manufacturing requirement. 
"Todd, Allen, and Alting's book is intended to help integrate design and manufacturing engineering activities by providing students of engineering and designers in industry with easily accessible information about common manufacturing processes. The authors rightfully believe that the first step in designing a component is for the designer to become familiar with the processes that will be used in its manufacture. This always leads to more practical, less expensive, and better designed products. [Recommended for] upper-division undergraduate through professional."

Lubrication for Industry, 2nd Ed. By Kenneth E. Bannister 2006, 256 pp, illus., ISBN 13: 978-0-8311-3278-1, $39.50 With over 70% of bearing failures attributed to ineffective lubrication practices, no one involved in asset management can afford to pass up this new edition. As a clear, concise, practical introduction to the world of industrial lubrication, the second edition dispels the myths surrounding lubrication and helps users develop a keen sense and understanding of how lubrication directly and indirectly impacts machine reliability, availability, and ultimately, the bottom line. Readers will find practical advice that will allow them to put in place a viable lubrication management program and effectively troubleshoot lubrication related problems immediately, while offering essential information required to significantly reduce equipment downtime and increase life cycle management. Vital information and practical methods not currently taught in apprenticeship and engineering programs.

The concept of lean production is not new, but the challenges of dramatic change management often stymie business leaders trying to put lean operations into place. This newly-revised and greatly expanded volume aims to provide a readable, real-world roadmap for putting into place the indispensable strategy and tactics managers need to make lean work and move their organizations - whether manufacturing or service-based - toward a world-class production system. Drawing upon decades of experience in the front lines of lean production and organizational transformation, the author provides cases, anecdotes, examples, rationales and concrete tools to help business leaders stop talking about lean production and actually make progress toward achieving it. It's the perfect resource for leaders at all levels who are interested in improving their competitiveness, building more successful operations, and moving toward world-class performance in customer satisfaction, profitability, and employee satisfaction. 
<ul>
<li>Contains in-depth "insight" chapters that explore key principles of the strategy with detailed explanations, examples, anecdotes, graphics, and comments by business leaders experienced in each area.</li>
<li>Addresses the use of lean production principles and tools in service organizations and small companies.</li>
<li>Provides actual case histories of successful implementation in a variety of organizations.</li>
<li>Includes explanatory graphics and charts, including key steps and measurements for use in implementation.</li>
