Machinery’s Handbook has been the most popular reference work in metalworking, design, engineering and manufacturing facilities, and in technical schools and colleges throughout the world for nearly 100 years. It is universally acknowledged as an extraordinarily authoritative, comprehensive, and practical tool, providing its users with the most fundamental and essential aspects of sophisticated manufacturing practice. The 29th edition of the “Bible of the Metalworking Industries” contains major revisions of existing content, as well as new material on a variety of topics. It is the essential reference for Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Industrial Engineers, Designers, Draftsmen, Toolmakers, Machinists, Engineering and Technology Students, and the serious Home Hobbyist.

The Machinery’s Handbook 29 CD-ROM contains the complete contents of the print edition, presented in Adobe PDF format. This popular and well-known format allows viewing and printing of pages that are identical to those of the printed book, permits rapid searching of the entire Handbook, and includes the ability to magnify the view of any page. Navigation aids in the form of thousands of clickable bookmarks, page cross references, and index entries take you quickly to any page referenced. Besides the full print edition, the CD-ROM includes over 500 pages of additional data, mostly material that was published in previous print editions but subsequently removed due to space restrictions. The 29th Edition CD-ROM also provides an expanded array of the popular INTERACTIVE MATH EQUATIONS. Users will be able to instantly calculate cutting speeds, dimensions of bevels, moments of inertia, the measurement of various screw threads, the center of gravity for any shape, hardness of material, volumes, taper angles, matrices, … and much, much more. Minimum requirements: Windows Operating System, 32-and 64-bit; Internet connection for authorization and Interactive Math.

The classic MRP work up-to-date with new information on supply chain synchronization

Thoroughly revised, Orlicky’s Material Requirements Planning, Third Editionreviews the poor business results embedded in most of today’s business systems; discusses the core problems causing the results; presents and discusses an alternative pull structure for planning and controlling materials flow; and presents initial results from actual implementations. This new edition reveals the next evolutionary step for materials and supply chain synchronization in the modern manufacturing landscape. This update describes:

  • A solution to a chronic MRP-related problem that plagues many manufacturers: shortages of materials, components that block the smooth flow of work through the plant
  • A competitive edge through strategic lead time reductions
  • Significant reductions in total inventory investment
  • Significant increases in service levels

This new edition helps companies tackle three pervasive problems: unacceptable inventory performance; unacceptable service level performance; and high related expenses and waste.

 

New to This Edition:

  • New section on manufacturing as the heart of the supply chain management, and specific challenges in the 21st century
  • Covers supply chain management (SCM) and distribution requirements planning (DRP)
  • Discusses the impact of Lean and the Toyota Production System
  • Update of integration software
  • Reviews the emergence of demand-driven strategies and the MRP “conflict”
  • Introduces the new concept of ASR (Actively Synchronized Replenishment) and explains how to incorporate it into business processes
  • Explains positioning and how Six Sigma can help achieve results
  • In-depth discussion of buffers – how to size, maintain, and adjust them
  • New chapter on using MRP tools across the supply chain to enable pull-based approaches
  • New case studies which illustrating the techniques described in the book

 

Coverage includes:

  • Inventory in a manufacturing environment
  • Principles of MRP

  • Technical overview of RFID technology basics and systems components
  • Advantages and limitations of RFID
  • EPC global industry standards
  • Operational, technical, and financial challenges in designing RFID applications
  • RFID security and privacy concerns and solutions
  • Business analytics and building the business case for RFID implementation
