This book outlines the process of sustainable product design and
development. It presents design guidelines that help prolong the
life of a product and minimize its environmental impact. These
guidelines specifically enable product design for end-of-life (EoL)
objectives such as reuse, recycling and remanufacturing.
Sustainable Product Design and Development also presents
mathematical models that will help the designer determine the cost
of designing sustainable products. This cost can be computed early
during the design stage of a product. Sustainable Product Design
and Development presents different ways and means by which a
product can address all three pillars of
sustainability-environmental conservation, social sustainability,
and economic sustainability. Various case studies are incorporated
in different chapters. Case studies on designing products for
assembly, disassembly and remanufacturing have been presented in
their respective chapters. The book also provides an overview of
global environmental legislation to help the reader grasp the
importance of waste management and sustainable product design. This
book is aimed at professionals, engineering students, environmental
scientists, and those in the business environment.
This book will provide a quick reference on Work Measurement. While
the nature of the work may differ, measuring work is fundamental to
any industrial or service activity. It's needed to determine such
things as the amount a person should be paid, how much time should
it take to perform an activity, what is an acceptable days work, or
how any two or more methods or designs compare. This book provides
non-industrial engineers with the why and the how work is measured
in order to perform their jobs.
Product development teams are composed of an integrated group of
professionals working from the nascent stage of new product
planning through design creation and design review and then on to
manufacturing planning and cost accounting. An increasingly large
number of graduate and professional training programs are aimed at
meeting that need by creating a better understanding of how to
integrate and accelerate the entire product development process.
This book is the perfect accompaniment and a comprehensive guide.
The second edition of this instructional reference work presents
invaluable insight into the concurrent nature of the
multidisciplinary product development process. It can be used in
the traditional classroom, in professional continuing education
courses or for self-study. This book has a ready audience among
graduate students in mechanical and industrial engineering, as well
as in many MBA programs focused on manufacturing management. This
is a global need that will find a receptive readership in the
industrialized world particularly in the rapidly developing
industrial economies of South Asia and Southeast Asia.
This book serves a unique purpose within the world of engineering.
It covers the economics of modern manufacturing and focuses on
examining the techniques and methods from a cost perspective. It
can be used by both students and professionals alike. The book is
useful to students in industrial engineering and mechanical
engineering programs as a primary textbook for engineering economy,
production costing, and related courses. It can also be used by MBA
students specializing in production management and finance.
Specific topics of coverage include the computation of direct and
indirect cost for manufacturing operations, including a variety of
overhead operations in such an environment. Costing of
manufacturing methods such as casting, forging, turning, milling,
and welding is addressed along with inventory analysis. The book
also includes fundamental concepts such as cash flow analysis,
present and future worth analysis, and rate of return analysis.
Related topics such as equipment replacement, comparison of
alternatives, depreciation, buy versus make decisions, interest
factors, and equivalence are covered in detail as well. Key
Features: Addresses the costing of manufacturing operations through
a step-by-step problem solving approach. Includes traditional
engineering topics such as cash flow analysis, present worth,
future worth analysis, replacement analysis, equivalence, and
depreciation are addressed in depth as well. Offers a variety of
solved examples that can be used to develop a thorough
understanding of the underlying concept. Provides a number of
practice problems at the end of each chapter. Presents a large
number of figures and tables in almost every chapter, to assist in
visualizing the concept and apply it successfully. Production
Economics: Evaluating Costs of Operations in Manufacturing and
Service Industries focuses on rigorous problem solving. Each topic
is presented succinctly along with numerous solved examples, along
with a large number of end-of-chapter practice problems where
applicable.

Engineering Project Management: A Quantitative Approach introduces
students to an assortment of quantitative analysis techniques with
emphasis on three key attributes for effective project management:
cost analysis, product quality, and time management. The techniques
provide individuals with the ability to ensure appropriate quality
control by meeting and exceeding customer expectations; complete a
project within a given timeframe; and complete a project within
given cost constraints. The book is organized into three units.
Unit I focuses on cost management and features chapters that cover
breakeven analysis, the time value of money, benefit cost analysis,
and depreciation. Unit II underscores the importance of quality
control and familiarizes students with two approaches to ensuring
quality: the reactive method and the proactive method. Relevant
tools such as control charts, FMEA, QFD, and Ishikawa analysis are
presented. In Unit III, students become familiar with the twin
methods of the project evaluation review technique (PERT) and the
critical path method (CPM), which are essential for effective time
management. Both deterministic and probabilistic approaches to CPM
are presented. Appendices provide students with a collection of
interest rate tables and a normal distribution table. A concise yet
enlightening guide, Engineering Project Management is an exemplary
resource for courses and programs in engineering.
