I have taught a course on CIM for several years to fourth-year Mechanical Engineering students, but could not find a book to recommend. Well, this year my students will have a book for this course! The presentation and writing are clear, with many insights into the subject of manufacturing. The clarity of writing is matched by excellent illustrations. The book is well-edited, with very few misspellings and errors. With a broad range of manufacturing topics covered in a relatively small volume, the material is presented in a concise manner, which actually makes it easier for the reader to grasp the essential concepts without being overwhelmed with excessive details on any one subject. At the same time, there is enough theory to give something to explain in class and something to test on the exams. This approach should make this a good textbook for my students.

The book is written from a reader's/student's perspective: Clear and to the point.

Excellent overviews and sufficiently detailed descriptions.

The author's web site has great powerpoint presentations! Very useful.

This book addresses all the fundemental manufacturing issues under one title!

It is comprehensive, easy to read, sufficiently technical, state-of-the-art.

Recommended for all practicing manufacturing engineers.

A bit pricey!
