Discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDs) permeate our world, being of great importance in modern manufacturing processes, transportation and various forms of computer and communications networking.

Recent worldwide advances in manufacturing technologies led to a metamorphism in the industry.

Interoperability: the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort from the user is a key issue in manufacturing and industrial enterprise generally.

In recent years, the supply chain has become a key element to the survival and prosperity of organisations in different industry sectors.

This book is an ambitious attempt to bridge the infamous gap between theory and practice in control.

Modelling is an activity that is found in every domain of research and science, and takes place even when we are not aware of it.

In the early years of the 21st Century, as a result of many changes, it has become possible for the first time for tens of thousands of companies to offer manufactured products to customers across six continents.

In today's competitive world, industries are focusing on shorter lead times, improved quality, reduced cost, increased profit, improved productivity and better customer service.

Engineers and scientists often need to sell an innovative idea for a new product or a new product improvement to top management.

Modelling, Monitoring and Diagnostic Techniques for Fluid Power Systems covers the background theory of fluid power and indicates the range of concepts needed for a modern approach to condition monitoring and fault diagnosis.

Machining dynamics are vital to the performance of machine tools and machining processes in manufacturing.

In electronics manufacture, the expanding range of products and the smaller-and-smaller scale of increasingly integrated components is producing a trend towards complex and fault-susceptible processes.

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer in control engineering.

The transition to lead-free solders seems to be a foregone conclusion with Japan and Europe leading the way.

Since the 1992 Rio summit, corporate environmental responsibility has grown beyond complying with increasingly stringent environmental regulation and taking up proactive initiatives.

Preface.

Manufacturing systems and processes are becoming more complex, so more rational decision-making in process control is a necessity.

This book is a sequel to The Practice of Machine Design, and The Practice of Machine Design, Book 3 - Learning from Failure.

Manufacturing systems work with scarce resources in dynamic environments.

Many serious accidents have happened in the world where systems have been large-scale and complex, and have caused heavy damage and a social sense of instability.

Globalisation of the world's economy is leading to rapid change and uncertainties in society, politics and markets.

Efficient assembly line design is a problem of industrial importance.

This book is written based upon VEE Pro Version 6.

Manufacture of components from powders often requires a compaction step; as in powder metallurgy, ceramic, hardmetal, magnet, pharmaceutical, refractory and other sectors to make anything from complex gears for cars to pills to dishwasher tablets.

Engineering litigation is rarely about who is right or who has been wronged.

Robust Control Design with MATLAB(R) helps you learn how to use well-developed robust control design methods in practical cases.

Development of environmentally friendly products gains an increasing - portance in science and in industry.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), a new paradigm for product manufacturing, enables a company to manage its products all the way across their lifecycles in the most effective way.

Recent developments in constrained control and estimation have created a need for this comprehensive introduction to the underlying fundamental principles.
