The academic course of Machine Design Elements and Assemblies (a.k.a. "Machine Design," "Mechanical Engineering Design," etc.) is based on the fundamentals of several different core disciplines, and should prepare students to meet challenges associated with solving real-life mechanical engineering design problems commonly found in industry. Other works focus primarily on verifying calculations of existing machine elements in isolation, while this textbook goes beyond and includes the design calculations necessary for determining the specifications of elements for new assemblies, and accounting for the interaction between them. Machine Design Elements and Assemblies addresses the design considerations associated with the functionality of a full assembly. Most chapters end with a design project that gets progressively more complex. Numerous reviews of prerequisite materials are purposely not included in this title, resulting in a more concise, more practical, and far less expensive product for students, engineers, and professors. Rounding out this incredible package are 120 problems and answers that can be assigned as homework. And nearly 400 additional problems are available on the book's affiliated website, www.machinedesignea.com.Michael Spektor holds a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. His experience includes work in industry and academia in the former Soviet Union, Israel, and the U.S. He is also the author of Solving Engineering Problems in Dynamics, and Applied Dynamics in Engineering (Industrial Press, Inc.).

"A manager's instinct is to strive to control everything. That's not just ineffective, it's a practical impossibility. So, where should managers commit finite resources to achieve their enterprise's mission? Eli Goldratt's Theory of Constraints ("TOC"), introduced in The Goal, is a great place to start, but a terrible place to stop, as most readers can't put that knowledge to use. Constraints hold organizations in check. Without them, productivity would be easy, and companies could grow without bounds. But in most enterprises, survival and growth are perpetual struggles. This book is intended to bring a broader understanding of strategy and information to the TOC community while introducing TOC principles to the strategy and information communities."--Page 4 of cover

In the field of maintenance, good problem-solving practices are among the most important elements to maximizing equipment uptime, and by resolving the root cause of the failure, in increasing equipment reliability. To be successful, an organization must be able to resolve the effects of a failure quickly so that it can go back to normal, and, in some cases, determine the cause of the failure so that a permanent solution can be identified and implemented. These are two distinct requirements (troubleshooting and root cause failure analysis), with distinctive requirements. Both are important, and one cannot exist without the other if we want to be efficient and effective in resolving asset failures. This work takes a unique approach to equipment failure-related problem solving by presenting both types of failure resolution techniques, the purpose of each, and describing how best to use them. In presenting root cause failure analysis, the book distinguishes between information gathering and failure analysis. It provides five information gathering methods and three root cause analysis methods from the 5-Whys to Logic Tree Analysis to Single Functional Failure RCM. It follows a structured approach to managing the RCFA, from stabilizing the site and gathering information, to implementing and sustaining the results, to leveraging the solution. This book provides practical methods and tools needed to achieve problem-solving goals and objectives, both when troubleshooting a problem as well as when determining a permanent solution. All of this information is kept to a concise and extremely readable length and format. The market needs a practical troubleshooting and RCFA guide that is not software specific and that provides a clear, structured approach to both. This work is that rare find.  FeaturesExplores problem solving as a science.Focuses on how to help an organization be successful, both at quickly getting the plant back in operation, and defining permanent solutions.The only book to detail troubleshooting and RCFA under the same cover.J R Paul Lanthier, P.
