Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In the future, all manufacturing engineers will need to become more creative and risk conscious. They'll need to be aware of, and willing to, implement new design and quality confirmation techniques, manufacturing technologies, inventory and expense control methodologies, and manufacturing performance metrics. This new book spells out what the role of the manufacturing engineer will be in the 21st century and explains why they'll be the catalysts for success in manufacturing. Find out how and why the manufacturing engineer's role has changed, and what to expect in the future. You'll learn why you may need to do things differently, and how to adapt to changes. See why you can expect big responsibilities and big rewards over the next decade.
