MANUFACTURING: ART,TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE,ANDBusINESS1.1 INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS "MANUFACTURING"?The word has Latin roots: manu, meaning by hand, joined tofacere, meaning to make.The dictionary definition is "Making of articles by physical/abor or machinery, espe-cially on a large scale."Even this simple[r]

These agreements might spring up for a temporary period tosuit the commercial opportunity at hand. This more ephemeral version of the oldstyle monolithic business is called the virtu[r]

When accumulators are used, the hydraulic power source can be dis-connected without a reduction in clamping force.As a[r]

employed in the production of hollow shapes such as die cavities. The end mill canbe used to machine a feature such as a rectangular pocket with (ideally) verticalwalls.There are a very large number of different shapes of milling cutter for differentapplications. Single toothed cutters are possible,[r]

The insertion method depends on the type of component. For example,axial components-oommonly including resistors, capacitors, a[r]

today's corporations, this generally means moving off the factory floor. Initially,a person's reeducation might lead to a position in machinery diagnostics andrepair or in the organization of production. In time, such a position might growinto general management, personnel, and business oriented dec[r]

As mentioned in Chapter 2,Ayres and Miller (1983) provides the succinct def-inition of computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) as "the confluence of thesupply elements (such as new computer technologies) and the demand elements (theconsumer requirements of flexibility, quality, and variety)."[r]
