MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
What is manufacturing:
Manufacturing is a Latin word. ‘Manu’ means ‘Hand’ and ‘Facts’ means ‘Made By’.
Manufacturing is defined as:
“Process of converting raw material into the useful products by considering,
1. Design of the product.
2. Selection of the material.
3. Sequence of processes by which it is manufactured”.
Manufacturing Engineering:
“Manufacturing engineering is a discipline of engineering dealing with different manufacturing practices and the research and development of systems, processes, machines, tools and equipment”.
It also defined as,
“Manufacturing engineering includes product design and manufacturing system design as well as operation of the factory”.
It dealing with machines that turn raw materials to a new product. Engineering activities involved in the creation and operation of the technical processes that convert raw materials, energy, and purchased items into components for sale to other manufacturers. In particular, manufacturing engineering involves the analysis and modification of product designs so as to assure manufacturability; the design, selection, specification and optimization of the required equipment, tooling, processes and operations and the determination of other technical matters required to make a given product according to the desired volume, timetable, quality level and other specifications. Manufacturing Engineering has many important branches.
Manufacturing complex activities are,
1. Product design
2. Machinery and tooling
3. Process planning
4. Purchasing
5. Manufacturing
6. Marketing
7. Sales
8. Shipping
Manufacturing responsive to following demands;
Design
Quality
Environmentally friendly
Flexible
Types of product
Market demand
Production rate
This field also deals with the integration of different facilities and systems for
