The unique focus of the book is the close symbiotic relationship
between design and manufacture. It covers a large number of actual
issues in the field by authors from the main research groups
involved in developing methods, models and tools for the
improvement of design and manufacturing processes in companies. It
presents a selection of thirty-three papers ensuing from the fifth
International Conference on Integrated Design and Manufacturing in
Mechanical Engineering, held at the University of Bath, UK, in
April 2004.
The contributions are divided in the following sections: two
keynotes presenting the general synergies and relationships between
the design and manufacturing processes through the concepts of
production knowledge and integration; design strategies and
methodologies, dealing with the critical element of knowledge in
design and manufacturing processes and the methods with which
designing can be undertaken collaboratively in an integrated
manner; integrated design of manufacturing processes, which aim is
to ensure a high quality product meeting all requirements, rapidly
and at optimum cost; and design tools for particular applications
in which texts optimising local decision have been grouped.
The book is of interest to academics, students and practitioners
specialising in design and manufacturing issues in mechanical
engineering, who will find it of the greatest interest to compare
various points of view within the fields broached throughout the
Conference. This volume is recommended as a reference textbook for
all researchers in this field. It will give teachning staff
confronted with training methodologies in integrated design and
production a toolto assess the scope of the development prospects
in an extremely wide ranging field.
