Abstract
MANUFACTURINGSYSTEMS will provide you with many opportunities to study the basic elements of manufacturing as a managed body of activities. These basic elements have been arranged under the two major categories of material processing and management.
Specifically, MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS covers seven areas of manufacturing representing the entire range of manufacturing. These areas are:
- Manufacturing Systems.
- Manufacturing Materials.
- Manufacturing Processes.
- Introduction to Management.
- Manufacturing Enterprise.
- Automating Manufacturing Systems.
- Manufacturing and You.
As you use MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS, you will learn that manufacturing is a managed system that draws upon resources. You will explore a number of material processing techniques common to manufacturing. Then you will find out how activities are managed. Finally, you may apply this newly developed knowledge in a realistic setting-a student-operated manufacturing enterprise. You will be introduced to the concepts of leadership and entrepreneurship while participating in these activities.
MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS is heavily illustrated with photographs, drawings, diagrams, and original artwork, many in full color. This material has been carefully selected to enrich the text. Each chapter begins with a list of instructional objectives. New vocabulary terms appear in bold. Following each chapter, a list of words to know is given along with review questions covering material presented in each chapter. Several chapter-end activities are also given that will allow you to apply your knowledge.
MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS is a basic text for use by anyone interested in the various career opportunities available in the cluster of manufacturing trades and related jobs. It will enable you to obtain a working knowledge of what people involved in manufacturing do.
Manufacturing is an exciting area of study. It is a dynamic area involving action. As you study, you will have opportunities to change the form of materials using material processing techniques. Later, you will study how people manage these activities using resources efficiently. Finally, you will form a company to design, produce, and market a product.
