Since the publication of the first edition of Integrated Product
and Process Design and Development: The Product Realization Process
more than a decade ago, the product realization process has
undergone a number of significant changes. Reflecting these
advances, this second edition presents a thorough treatment of the
modern tools used in the integrated product realization process and
places the product realization process in its new context. See
what's new in the Second Edition: Bio-inspired concept generation
and TRIZ Computing manufacturing cost, costs of ownership, and
life-cycle costs of products Engineered plastics, ceramics,
composites, and smart materials Role of innovation New
manufacturing methods: in-mold assembly and layered manufacturing
This book discusses how to translate customer needs into product
requirements and specifications. It then provides methods to
determine a product's total costs, including cost of ownership, and
covers how to generate and evaluate product concepts. The authors
examine methods for turning product concepts into actual products
by considering development steps such as materials and
manufacturing processes selection, assembly methods, environmental
aspects, reliability, and aesthetics, to name a few. They also
introduce the design of experiments and the six sigma philosophy as
means of attaining quality. To be globally viable, corporations
need to produce innovative, visually appealing, quality products
within shorter development times. Filled with checklists,
guidelines, strategies, and examples, this book provides proven
methods for creating competitively priced quality products.

The era of the fourth industrial revolution has fundamentally
transformed the manufacturing landscape. Products are getting
increasingly complex and customers expect a higher level of
customization and quality. Manufacturing in the Era of 4th
Industrial Revolution explores three technologies that are the
building blocks of the next-generation advanced manufacturing.The
first technology covered in Volume 1 is Additive Manufacturing
(AM). AM has emerged as a very popular manufacturing process. The
most common form of AM is referred to as 'three-dimensional (3D)
printing'. Overall, the revolution of additive manufacturing has
led to many opportunities in fabricating complex, customized, and
novel products. As the number of printable materials increases and
AM processes evolve, manufacturing capabilities for future
engineering systems will expand rapidly, resulting in a completely
new paradigm for solving a myriad of global problems.The second
technology is industrial robots, which is covered in Volume 2 on
Robotics. Traditionally, industrial robots have been used on mass
production lines, where the same manufacturing operation is
repeated many times. Recent advances in human-safe industrial
robots present an opportunity for creating hybrid work cells, where
humans and robots can collaborate in close physical proximities.
This Cobots, or collaborative robots, has opened up to opportunity
for humans and robots to work more closely together. Recent
advances in artificial intelligence are striving to make industrial
robots more agile, with the ability to adapt to changing
environments and tasks. Additionally, recent advances in force and
tactile sensing enable robots to be used in complex manufacturing
tasks. These new capabilities are expanding the role of robotics in
manufacturing operations and leading to significant growth in the
industrial robotics area.The third technology covered in Volume 3
is augmented and virtual reality. Augmented and virtual reality
(AR/VR) technologies are being leveraged by the manufacturing
community to improve operations in a wide variety of ways.
Traditional applications have included operator training and design
visualization, with more recent applications including interactive
design and manufacturing planning, human and robot interactions,
ergonomic analysis, information and knowledge capture, and
manufacturing simulation. The advent of low-cost solutions in these
areas is accepted to accelerate the rate of adoption of these
technologies in the manufacturing and related sectors.Consisting of
chapters by leading experts in the world, Manufacturing in the Era
of 4th Industrial Revolution provides a reference set for
supporting graduate programs in the advanced manufacturing area.
