New Age International (P) Ltd Publishers Product Design And Manufacturing 1St Edition 2014 by Srinivasa Prakash Regalla
The book covers the current philosophy, latest updates on methodologies and techniques of product design and manufacturing with a special emphasis on the collaborative approach of design for product life cycle. The design for product’s life cycle is an important aspect without which the progress may be unilateral without a balance among the different important issues of all stages of the product life cycle. This normally can result in too many design changes, thus increasing the cost of the product as well as the lead time. These consequences are unaffordable for any company in the modern scenario of competitive and global markets. Thus the framework of product life cycle is used in this book to provide as a binding constraint to drive the discussions towards a converging idea of reducing the lead time, improving product quality and reducing useless redesign efforts that might result due to lack of coordination among the people belonging to various stages of the product life cycle. There appeared a lack of a book treating this subject at senior undergraduate level and graduate level. This book is a collective effort of several eminent engineering scientists. The names of all contributors are mentioned topicwise. Now it is becoming a trend, correctly enough, to present textbook or reference book on chosen topics as a combined contribution of experts wherein each chapter’s author presents the best perspective to the state-of-the-art.
