Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing

Providing hands-on knowledge, this book emphasizes the importance of using standards in multidisciplinary design and manufacturing of discrete products. This book describes concepts associated with product realization processes in modular form using numerous case studies to illustrate each example. Emphasizing change in approaches, it provides a background for engineering design and presents a survey of the standards-developing organization. The text reviews standards from product, manufacturing, and user perspectives. Standards include man/machine interaction, operation of equipment, human/computer interaction, ergonomics, core design, energy input, and product output.
