"Industrialution, the Experience Principles" is a 'how to book' for plant level management teams on what it takes to sustain a long lasting manufacturing operation in today's environment of global competition.

Author Dennis Lex has over 35 years of hands-on manufacturing experience in metal stamping, injection molding, electronic processing, steel making, casting, welding and industrial engineering. What is unique about this book versus other books on manufacturing is the author addresses all the popular subjects on manufacturing necessary to run a successful operation and how all the theories are interrelated. The author presents his concepts based on real manufacturing experience. His key conclusions are:

Plant level management has the ability control a plants future existence Time is the major resource problem The experience principles do not change with technology, mergers, , acquisitions, etc.

Weighing items and bulk materials is one of the most essential aspects of any industrial enterprise, and automating those tasks is at the heart of any automated enterprise. This book will review the essential challenges in both static and dynamic weighing and then go on to explain how a suite of very popular, highly adopted controllers and sensors from Siemens electronics can be used to make such operations as efficient as possible. Useful applications for various types of industrial processes help to make vivid the benefits of this technology.

Modern Manufacturing Technology & Cost Estimation offers a systematic coverage of essential advanced manufacturing processes. Throughout the book authors stress practical approach to near-net-shape and non-traditional (EDM, ECM) processes. Technological developments have recently advanced along with materials, tooling and machines. This book serves as the concise resource related to: .Electrophysical and electrochemical methods and principles .Near-net-shape processes and applications .Technological Knowledge systems developments .material - process: cost relationships .technology-oriented published, Internet and periodical information This book enables a practitioner: . efficiently perform feasibility study .develop a basis for cost-oriented decision support. .acquire new knowledge or to refresh knowledge related to manufacturing analysis and characteristics. This on-the-job book will support cost justification studies, reduce decision time which is critical for busy professionals. Furthermore, it offers common engineering vision for the cross-functional team of manufacturing engineer, product designer, purchasing specialist, sales and marketing professionals. It is written for a practitioner who does not have time to undertake the long hours needed to research the subject The cost reduction course presented in this book can become a model for a set of training courses. Additionally, the book contains useful visual models and templates, examples and diagrams. If technologies described in this book can replace several traditional operations, consolidate product features and improve quality, that means, based on Modern Manufacturing Technology & Cost Estimation a practitioner will be able: . generate more creative and cost saving ideas, concepts . correctly diagnose a manufacturing problem . optimize material and process selection . improve mold and die manufacturing processes . eliminate expensive materials and machines in production . identify and recognize cost avoidance ideas . better control material procurement process . improve production processes in terms of economical efficiency and engineering integrity .support effective product change control process The book will guide a team in efforts of uncovering less costly designs, materials and processes. Modern Manufacturing Technology & Cost Estimation will help to better understand the role of advanced technologies and to achieve superior process efficiency and financial performance.

This book aims to provide recent information on advances in drilling technology. The use of advanced machines, appropriate strategies and special drilling tools can signifi cantly reduce the machining time required for drilling operations, and consequently the production costs, and improve the quality of the holes produced. For these reasons an improvement of the drilling technology is very important for the modern manufacturing industries. This book can be used as a research book for fi nal undergraduate engineering course or at postgraduate level. It can also serve as a useful reference for academics, researchers, mechanical, industrial, production, manufacturing and materials engineers, professionals in drilling technology and related matters.

This excellent volume combines a great deal of data only previously available from many different sources into a single, informative volume. It presents evaporation technology as it exists today. Although evaporation is one of the oldest unit operations, it is also an area with dramatic changes in the last quarter century. Although other methods of separation are available, evaporation remains the best process for many applications. All factors must be evaluated in order to select the best evaporator type. This book will be extremely useful in evaluating and deciding which evaporation technology will meet a particular set of requirements.

Accurate chemical water treatment and skillful maintenance are key elements to attain optimal boiler operation.

"Boiler Water Treatment: Principles and Practice" analyzes the fundamentals of the mechanical operation of boilers, together with the applied chemistry required to achieve waterside cleanliness and costeffective and optimal boiler operation.

The book describes the methods and procedures to optimally applying lubricant to all kinds of general purpose machines. These include process pumps, electric motors and other equipment incorporating rolling element bearing where traditional methods are usually very much out of step with best available practices. Failure analysis, reliability strategies, remedial steps or desirable substitute approaches are also explained.

This standard reference serves the industrial community as an authoritative source on cooling water problems.
