This text offers a comprehensive coverage of Manufacturing Science I and II. The textbook is primarily intended for the undergraduate students of Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, Industrial and Production Engineering, and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. In addition, it deals with a broad spectrum of important topics of interest to the practising engineers. The text is interspersed with numerical problems to demonstrate the application of the material explained.

The major goal of the present book is to provide the production engineers and managers responsible for the activities related to manufacturing science with the latest developments in the science and technology of manufacturing and to prepare them to tackle day-to-day problems at production sites in a systematic, scientific, and logical manner. The text is also a useful reference for AMIE and competitive examinations, such as IES, IAS, UPSC, GATE, etc.
