Manufacturing engineering may be defined as designing production process for a product. Although there is a large difference of opinion on exactly what is included in the design of a production process, almost all people would generally agree with the above definition. Production or manufacturing engineering includes all considerations pertaining to the process of production. This include such functions as the following:
Product-Production Design Interaction
Product design requires that a person develop and evaluate the ability of the part to perform its intended function. Part characteristic such as
Manufacturing engineering may be defined as designing production process for a product. Although there is a large difference of opinion on exactly what is included in the design of a production process, almost all people would generally agree with the above definition. Production or manufacturing engineering includes all considerations pertaining to the process of production. This include such functions as the following:
- Evaluating the manufacturability of the product
- Selecting processes and setting process parameters such as cutting tool material, size, and shape; cutting speed; dept of cut; and so on.
- Designing work-holding devices (jigs and fixtures) to secure and control the position of the workpiece during manufacture.
- Estimating the cost of manufacturing the part
- Assuring the quality of the part produced
