Since the early beginning of industrial revolution, manufacturers
are consistently trying to improve the characteristics of their
products and efficiency of the manufacturing processes. Man started
manufacturing from primitive style to produce very simple products
to make his life easier. There were no machines and devices all the
manufacturing work was done by hand and the ordinary things of
daily use such as axe, hammer and chisels were used as tools for
assistance in manufacturing operation. As, time passed, man
discovered many new phenomenon of nature, the knowledge of science,
technology, engineering and management evolved and systematic
studies on manufacturing were started. Today, Manufacturing has
grown to a tremendous level, it has become a vast subject. It has
become an inter-disciplinary approach which is an integration of
many sciences, engineering, management, commerce and finance
disciplines etc. The most recent couple of years have seen
unparalleled changes all through the world. Quick changes in the
business sectors demand variety of product life cycles and top
notch products at low costs. Clients now demand exceptionally high
levels of quality and performance. This global trend and market
competition has motivated product manufacturing firms to search for
dynamic and mechanized manufacturing processes in all fields. In
this way many manufacturing processes, technologies and systems
have came in existence and research is still continued in this
field and many new, radically different manufacturing processes,
technologies and systems are expected to come into being in the
coming years. The aim of this book is to provide a description of
modern manufacturing practices and novel processes which are
speedily replacing the conventional manufacturing processes and
systems. This book presents a picture of the globally changing
manufacturing world along with the latest market challenges and how
they are being addressed. This book is of interest for graduate
level audience who are keen to get in touch with new manufacturing
systems, processes and technologies. This book is also of interest
for manufacturers and technical staff working in today's innovative
manufacturing corporate world. The first chapter provides a general
view of advanced manufacturing systems, processes technologies and
techniques which are used for controlling them. In the later
chapters advances in material forming processes, joining processes,
processing techniques, machining, material removal techniques,
additive manufacturing, manufacturing process management ,
manufacturing process control are described and green manufacturing
science, engineering, processes, technologies, implementation
planning and framework have been described.
