ABOUT THE BOOK: 

First written in 1942, this authoritative book covers everything an engineer needs to know about manufacturing systems and processes. This book takes a systems-based, rather than process-only, approach to manufacturing. The authors present a modern description of processes and its evaluation, including recent developments in the subject. It is a comprehensive text that presents over 400 manufacturing processes. It discusses a systems orientation to manufacturing, since it is systems that make manufacturing efficient.
