Excerpt provided by Syndetics

Preface Applied Manufacturing Process Planning is unique in that it is application-oriented and follows actual manufacturing plan development closely. Some differences do exist between manufacturers, such as reporting relationships and product design, but basic plan development is common. Chapters are organized in the sequence used to develop manufacturing plans in actual practice. Each chapter is illustrated to clarify the discussion of the subject involved, and examples are provided. Also, chapters are provided that serve as support and refresher updates to chapters that detail elements of a manufacturing plan. These pages are identified with shaded edges. Machined parts, upset parts, and sheet metal parts have been selected as a representative cross section of manufactured parts for detailed discussion and illustration of manufacturing plan development. The planning functions discussed and illustrated in this book can be employed to develop manufacturing plans for most other manufactured products. Key parts of a manufacturing plan for machined parts are: Processing: Processing is determining the operations and sequence of operations required to manufacture a part. Machining dimensions, manufacturing tolerances, and locating surfaces are also determined. Tolerance Charting: Tolerance charting is mathematically checking, verifying, and graphically displaying (charting) the machining dimensions, manufacturing tolerances, and stock removal of each operation planned in processing--all from the specified locating points. Workpiece Holding: Workpieces must rest, during machining, on the identical locating surfaces specified in processing and confirmed with tolerance charting. Clamping must keep the workpiece in contact with the locating surfaces; supports are sometimes required to prevent distortion caused by clamping and/or tool pressures. Processing, tolerance charting, and workpiece holding of a part must be developed to be in complete agreement; afterwards, ancillary, auxiliary, and support services, and costs are added to complete a manufacturing plan. Chapters on manufacturing plan elements of special machines, machine selection, and group technology are provided. Developing a manufacturing plan for metal-worked parts follows the same general course as for machined parts; however, actual processes, tooling, and production materials are unique to that type of manufacture. Chapters in this area describe and illustrate processes and tooling used, as well as similarities and differences from machining processes. The book is designed for use in manufacturing, mechanical, and industrial engineering courses in two- and four-year schools of engineering, technology, and skilled trades. Flexibility in the use of the book exists in that individual chapters may be used to teach specific subjects--that is, tolerance charting, work holding, machining processes, or others may be studied in any sequence and in conjunction with other source material. However, where a complete manufacturing plan is to be studied and developed, part design analysis, manufacturing processing, and tolerance charting should be studied in that order. The book will prove helpful to individuals involved in both mechanical and manufacturing engineering as well as individuals transiting from skilled trades to manufacturing engineering. Newly graduated manufacturing engineers will find the text a valuable guide and reference in the application of theory to practice. One proviso--the book user should have a working knowledge of basic machining processes, math, and materials to use it effectively. The authors' careers in industry, including years of hands-on experience at levels from Process Engineer to Manager of Manufacturing Engineering at General Motors, Wright Aeronautical, Chrysler, General Dynamics, EX-CELL-0, Modco-Valenite, and Carmet companies, provide the first-hand knowledge required for a book of this kind. Both authors have taught Manufacturing Engineering courses at Lawrence Institute of Technology (now Lawrence Technological University), and both are active as consultants.

DONALD H NELSON''S education and hands-on experience provide him with unique qualifications to write this book. Mr. Nelson graduated from high school in Austin, Minnesota, and subsequently from Lawrence Institute of Technology (now Lawrence Technological University) with a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree. During his undergraduate years, he was employed by General Motors, Hydromatic Division, in the Tool Engineering department.

At the outbreak of World War II, he was assigned to Wright Aeronautical Corporation in Paterson, New Jersey, and worked as a tool engineer on aircraft engines. After the war, Mr. Nelson joined the Chrysler Corporation as a manufacturing engineer at the Highland Park Plant and was promoted through the ranks to Manager, Manufacturing Engineering.

Highland Park was a unique production and service parts supplier that produced many different products in quantity, including torque converters, power steering pumps, brake wheel and master cylinders, rear axles, transmission gear sets, aluminum in an aluminum foundry and permanent-mold pistons, cold-headed parts, automatic screw machine parts, and also many different stamping in a press plant.

A transfer and assignment to the Indianapolis plant placed him in charge of Production, Production Control, and Manufacturing Engineering. Indianapolis produced starting motors, alternators, and power steering units.

A subsequent transfer to the Kokomo transmission plant provided responsibility for tool engineering, plant engineering, and maintenance during the introduction of a new model automatic transmission and expansion of the manufacturing facilities.

A final assignment to Chrysler corporate staff provided opportunity and responsibility for consulting on manufacturing plant problems and for review and approval of manufacturing plant''s project requests for tooling and equipment.

Following retirement, Mr. Nelson served General Dynamics Land Systems Division as a consultant for three years and still serves as a consultant to private industry.

Mr. Nelson taught manufacturing engineering classes at Lawrence Technological University for several years. He is a life member of the Society of Automotive Engineers and served as a program cochairman of the Indiana section. He is also a senior member of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers.

GEORGE SCHNEIDER, JR. immigrated to the United States in 1955 from Germany, after leaving his birthplace in Transylvania at the age of 11 in 1950. He competed high school in Lorain, Ohio, and served in the U.S. Navy aboard the aircraft carriers USS Leyte and USS Wasp .

After working as a tool and die apprentice, Professor Schneider decided to go to college. He holds a BS degree in Industrial Production from Kent State University, an MBA degree in Industrial Management from Case Western Reserve University, and an AS degree in Computer Technology from Lawrence Technological University.

Professor Schneider spent many years in industry working for General Motors, ModcoValenite, Ford Motor, the Carmet Company, and the Dawson Tool Company. In 1982 he joined Lawrence Technological University''s engineering faculty, teaching manufacturing processes, materials, robotics, and senior project courses. Professor Schneider also served as Director of Cooperative and Continuing Education and as Chairman of the Division of Corporate Credit and Cooperative Education.

Professor Schneider was inducted into Tau Beta Pi as an Eminent Engineer in 1985. He is an SME Certified Manufacturing Engineer (CMfgE) in Numerical Control; he has also been treasurer (1987-1988) and chairman (1988-1989) of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers Detroit Area Chapter ONE. From 1989 to 1990 Professor Schneider served as President of the International Executive Board of ASM''s Society of Carbide and Tool Engineers (SCTE).

In 1998 Professor Schneider retired from Lawrence Technological University and was granted emeritus status by the university as Professor of Engineering Technology. He currently serves industry as a manufacturing consultant, and Lawrence Technological University as a global education consultant.
