Some Comments :
good reference. used for MIT qualifying exams.
i used this book for MIT qualifying exams and it was a good overview. it covers quite a bit in terms of processes…and not very mathy. a few errors in there, but good reference overall.
doesnt deal with lean manufacturing or six sigma type stuff really.this will break your back if you have to carry it around while studying (like i did).
Very good manufacturing text
I’ve taught a quarter-long Manufacturing Processes course out of this text (and its predecessor) for four years, and plan to continue using it. This text presents a great overview of a wide variety of processes, which is exactly what I’m trying to achieve. It also goes into reasonable depth with many processes. I do not attempt to cover the entire text in one quarter, however — I use roughly half.When asked on end-of-term evaluations whether they agreed with the statement, “The textbook was valuable in my learning experience,” students consistently rated this text 4.1/5.0. The average score campus-wide for textbooks is 3.6/5.0. Anecdotally, the handful of students who actually bother reading the text come up to me and say, “It really is interesting and easy to read.”
Yes, there are some errors which have been frustratingly carried over from the 5th edition, but you catch many of them with a first reading. They knock it down from 5- to 4-stars, but I’m still really happy with the text.
