Fundamentals of Manufacturing Engineering

This textbook presents the fundamental concepts and theories in manufacturing engineering in a very simple, systematic and comprehensive way. The book is written in a way that it presents the topics in a simple and holistic manner with end-of chapter exercises and examples. The concepts are supported by numerous solved examples and multiple-choice questions to aid self-learning. The textbook also contains illustrated diagrams for better understanding of the concepts. The book will benefit those students who take introductory courses from mechanical, industrial and production engineering.
