Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing or Apparel Manufacturing

Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing: Materials, Processes, and Systems

Author: Mikell P Groover

A modern, all-inclusive look at manufacturing


In this modern, quantitative approach to manufacturing, Mikell Groover offers balanced coverage of the three basic engineering materials--metals, ceramics, polymers, as well as composites--along with recently developed manufacturing processes and electronics manufacturing technologies.


Throughout Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing, the emphasis is on manufacturing science and quantitative analysis of manufacturing processes. This emphasis helps students understand the relationships among the material properties and the process variables in a given manufacturing process.


Now updated and revised, this Third Edition of Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing features:
* New chapter on Nanofabrication Technologies, which describes the importance of nanotechnology and future commercial products that will be made possible by this technology.
* Updated chapter on Microfabrication Technologies with new material describing how compact discs are produced.
* More than 1700 end-of-chapter review questions, multiple-choice quiz questions, and quantitative analysis problems, including many new questions and problems in this edition.


See manufacturing processes in action with SME videos!


This text is packaged with a DVD based on the Society of Manufacturing Engineers' Fundamental Manufacturing Processes video series. The DVD contains brief video clips that promote visualization of key manufacturing processes. Chapters in the text include references to the videos, and several new end-of-chapter questions relate to the videos.

Apparel Manufacturing: Sewn Product Analysis

Author: Ruth E Glock

Apparel Manufacturing: Sewn Product Analysis is designed to provide a conceptual framework of the manufacturing process for future apparel professionals. It helps students understand the complex decision making involved in marketing, merchandising, and producing apparel to meet the needs of the target customer. Our intent, is to provide a global, integrated perspective so that readers will understand the interrelationships among processes and decisions.

The content is divided into five parts that focus on the factors that determine the cost, price, quality, performance, and value of garments.

• Part I presents a broad perspective of the organization of the apparel business, the roles of marketing and merchandising, and the complexities of operating in a worldwide market.
• Part II provides a comprehensive discussion of apparel development processes including development of product standards and specifications. Specific roles of design and technical design are enhanced with new sections on establishing garment fit and finishing.
• Part III focuses on apparel management with emphasis on quality, cost, materials, product development, and production sourcing.
• Part IV examines production processes considering engineering, production planning and management, and human resources that underlay preproduction, sewing, equipment, and finishing operations.
• Part V focuses on management, issues and decisions related to support materials, closures, and trims.
• Appendices enable readers to relate sewn product decisions to three basic apparel products including t-shirts, men's dress slacks, and dress shirts.

Organized into five parts that reflect the factors determining cost, price, quality, performance, and value of garments, this text is designed to provide an understanding of garment manufacturing and the decision making involved in marketing, merchandising, and producing apparel. Glock and Kunz, both of Iowa State University, consulted professionals in apparel manufacturing about the operation of their businesses and response to their markets in order to provide an insider's view of the field. Chapters discuss topics such as marketing strategies, quality control in a global context, clothing design and specifications, and materials selection. Annotation c.
