Not just a how-to guide. A what, when, where, how, and why-to guide. Are you a manufacturing manager, engineer, technician, or operator responsible for creating or updating procedures? Then you know that accurate documentation is critical for training, operations, and reference. But without a well-defined structure and intuitive, practical content, a documentation system can also turn into a liability-a high-maintenance, resource-draining monster. Jason Tesar is an expert technical writer and editor with over 20 years of experience working in engineering-intensive manufacturing operations. In Writing Manufacturing Procedures, he walks you through concepts and methods tested under the most demanding production and service environments. You'll learn what information is necessary to support a robust manufacturing process, how to segment that information to expand its usability, and how to present it to readers for maximum comprehension. Utilizing three basic document types-each with a specific function-you'll discover how to construct your own system with efficient, thorough content that will remain relevant as your business grows.

The EPA investigation of a 1994 chemical plant tragedy concluded that "the explosion resulted from a lack of written safe operating procedures..." While good written procedures can't guarantee zero accidents, they can reduce the number of accidents caused by human error. This new book shows how to remedy this problem through selecting and implementing actions that promote safe, efficient operations and maintenance, improve quality, continuity, profitability and cost control, build upon and record process experience, and promote the concept that operating and maintenance procedures are vital plant components. It includes practical samples of procedure formats, checklists and many references.

The first manufacturing book to examine time-based break-even analysis, this landmark reference/text applies cost analysis to a variety of industrial processes, employing a new, problem-based approach to manufacturing procedures, materials, and management. An Introduction to Manufacturing Processes and Materials integrates analysis of material costs and process costs, yielding a realistic, effective approach to planning and executing efficient manufacturing schemes. It discusses tool engineering, particularly in terms of cost for press work, forming dies, and casting patterns, process parameters such as gating and riser design for casting, feeds, and more.

Manufacturing Processes and Equipment by George Tlusty describes and explains existing production processes and machinery. More importantly, it uses the powerful analytical tools of machine science (heat transfer, vibrations, control theory) and applies them to the solution of manufacturing problems. There is more emphasis on the analytical development and application of engineering theory to manufacturing problems and students are encouraged to generate their own computer solutions to gain understanding. Unique features Integrates analytical tools from other machine science subjects (e.g., heat transfer, vibrations, control theory) and applies them to manufacturing processes Includes chapters on machine tools and other production equipment, discussing the aspects of performance and design drives, structures, and controls Emphasizes understanding of production machinery, its improvement and automation, so students are able to specify, select, install, and use new equipment Presents analytical development and necessary derivations in some detail and encourages students to develop their own computer programs to solve problems

Manufacturing Process Selection Handbook provides engineers and designers with process knowledge and the essential technological and cost data to guide the selection of manufacturing processes early in the product development cycle. Building on content from the authors' earlier introductory Process Selection guide, this expanded handbook begins with the challenges and benefits of identifying manufacturing processes in the design phase and appropriate strategies for process selection. The bulk of the book is then dedicated to concise coverage of different manufacturing processes, providing a quick reference guide for easy comparison and informed decision making. For each process examined, the book considers key factors driving selection decisions, including: - Basic process descriptions with simple diagrams to illustrate - Notes on material suitability - Notes on available process variations - Economic considerations such as costs and production rates - Typical applications and product examples - Notes on design aspects and quality issues Providing a quick and effective reference for the informed selection of manufacturing processes with suitable characteristics and capabilities, Manufacturing Process Selection Handbook is intended to quickly develop or refresh your experience of selecting optimal processes and costing design alternatives in the context of concurrent engineering. It is an ideal reference for those working in mechanical design across a variety of industries and a valuable learning resource for advanced students undertaking design modules and projects as part of broader engineering programs. - Provides manufacturing process information maps (PRIMAs) provide detailed information on the characteristics and capabilities of 65 processes in a standard format - Includes process capability charts detailing the processing tolerance ranges for key material types - Offers detailed methods for estimating costs, both at the component and assembly level

A well-understood tenet exists among the FDA and other regulatory bodies: if you didn't write it down, it didn't happen! And if it didn't happen, your company stands to lose time, money, and perhaps its competitive edge. This book provides writers with the tools they need to put effective documentation in place. It offers a broad range of documents representative of the types of writing in the healthcare industry, from the laboratory and QA to manufacturing and regulatory affairs. The book offers valuable insights into managing systems and producing documentation that meets the requirements of the binding regulations.
