Providing hands-on knowledge, this book emphasizes the importance of using standards in multidisciplinary design and manufacturing of discrete products. This book describes concepts associated with product realization processes in modular form using numerous case studies to illustrate each example. Emphasizing change in approaches, it provides a background for engineering design and presents a survey of the standards-developing organization. The text reviews standards from product, manufacturing, and user perspectives. Standards include man/machine interaction, operation of equipment, human/computer interaction, ergonomics, core design, energy input, and product output.

Most books on standardization describe the impact of ISO and related organizations on many industries. While this is great for managing an organization, it leaves engineers asking questions such as “what are the effects of standards on my designs?” and “how can I use standardization to benefit my work?” Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing provides hands-on knowledge for incorporating standards into the entire process from design bench to factory floor.

The book’s five self-contained sections consider the scope of design and manufacturing, standards for the design of discrete products, standards for the manufacture of discrete products, standards for the use of discrete products, as well as support standards. The authors survey in detail the major standards-setting organizations and outline the procedure for developing standards. They consider standards from the perspective of product, equipment, and end-user, using this as a platform to explain the economic benefits of standardization. Case studies in every section illustrate the concepts and offer practical insight for using standards in CAD/CAM, selection of components, process planning, human/machine interaction, and computer interfacing.

With its modular approach and practical wisdom based on the authors’ years of broad experience, Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing supplies the tools to incorporate standards into every stage of design and manufacturing.
