SYSTEM ENGINEERING FOR MACHINE DEVELOPMENT

About the Book

The first edition of System Engineering for Machinery Development book has been written by a professional machine tool design engineer for students and practicing professionals who are trying to design machineries for higher productivity and efficiency and to satisfy customer requirements. This book is written by a practitioner for other practitioners. Every machine designer needs to follow the system engineering tools and methodologies to design globally competitive machines to enhance production, robustness of machine and reduce the life cycle cost of the machine. The contents of this book are primarily geared towards making the task of designing machine systems which would satisfy the users. I have worked relentlessly to identify the system engineering principles which would help the design professionals to design cost effective robust machines. The generalized system engineering tools have been customized for machine design and development for real world applications in machine tool industry. Hope readers of this book find the contents very useful for their day-to-day work.
