| Value Engineering , Design Engineering Handbook |
| Everybody ought to be interested in Value Engineering (VE)! As wage-earners, the application of VE is helping American industry maintain its economic position in world markets, thereby protecting our jobs and careers. As consumers, we today purchase many products at not only lower prices, but with greater value as well, because the manufacturer of those products is applying VE as an effective management tool. |

| Fundamentals of Die Casting Design |
| Fundamental of Die Casting Design, describes the fundamental of design of the die casting process and die mold/runner. It is intended for people who have at least some knowledge of the basics of fundamental science, such as calculus, physics etc. |

| Squeeze Casting of Steel |
| The conventional casting and metal forming processes often result in oversize and heavy weapon components, which then must be extensively finish-machined. Since the machining cost is then a large fraction of the overall cost, this is an area for potential cost reduction in fabricating weapon components. In sand castings, much expense is also associated with the preparation of molds and trimming of the castings . |

| Six Sigma for Electronics Design and Manufacturing |
| Six Sigma for Electronics Design and Manufacturing - Six sigma is becoming more important as companies compete in a worldwide market for high-quality, low-cost products. Successful implementations of six sigma in different companies, large and small, do not follow identical scripts. The tools and methodologies of six sigma are fused with the company’s culture to create a unique and successful blend in each instance. |

| Basic Manufacturing Processes Introduction |
| Manufacturing and workshop practices have become important in the industrial environment to produce products for the service of mankind. The knowledge of manufacturing practices is highly essential for all engineers and technocrats for familiarizing themselves with modern concepts of manufacturing technologies. |

| Design for Welding in Mechanical Engineering |
| The development of the fabrication of welded structures into an efficient manufacturing method is largely due to the considerable research work which is been carried out in this field. One of the main tools of the designer, however, is experience, and this can only be gained in the practical application of the results of scientific work. |
|
| Design for Producibility |
| For the purposes of this handbook, producibility is defined as the combined effect of those elements or characteristics of a design and the production planning for it that enables the item, described by the design, to be produced and inspected in the quantity required and that permits a series of trade-offs to achieve the optimum of the least possible cost and the minimum time, while still meeting the necessary quality and performance requirements. |
