Book Description
Faced with increasing global competition, every industry, business, and service organization is restructuring itself to operate more effectively. Cost-effectiveness and product reliability without excess capacity are the keys to successful activity in business, industry, and government, and these keys are the end results of methods engineering.
The 11th edition of Methods, Standards, and Work Design provides practical, up-to-date descriptions of engineering methods to measure, analyze, and design manual work. The text emphasizes both the manual components and the cognitive aspects of work, recognizing the gradual decline of the manufacturing sector and the growth of the service sector. The importance of ergonomics and work design as part of methods engineering is emphasized not only to increase productivity, but also to improve worker health and safety, and thus, company bottom-line costs.

Great Book.......2007-09-11
Learn alot from the book about Project management. It does not only apply to management but apply to daily life. It teaches you more than there is. Definitely recommended.
Methods, standards and work design.......2005-09-26
I got the book on the first day that it was expexted to arrive and its in great shape.
11th edition.......2002-08-30
I am one of the professors Dr. Seifert is talking about in his review. I continue to use this textbook in both graduate and undergraduate classes on job design. Every semester I search for a better alternative, but am unable to find it. I find this book to be helpful and a good reference that incorporates ergonomics, work design, and methods engineering. (I also use old versions of the lab book that contain very well-made forms.) This text contains the best discussion of time standards I have seen. The 11th edition contains a new chapter on cognitive work. This is a topic I have always discussed and am glad to see formal treatment of it in the new edition. As with any textbook, I do not use it as the sole source of information taught in the classroom and would not recommend it as a sole source. I use the topics in the text to launch discussions and research papers on systems theory, lean, cycle time, environmental, process improvement methodologies, ethics, and other issues for manufacturing and non-shopfloor applications. I find the book especially useful in the area of work design and time standards.
Students have found these skills useful in the workplace. Many of our students work in process improvement and lean implementations. They use these skills to reduce cycle time and balance the lines to meet the demands of customers. Good implementation of lean requires knowledge of how to balance a line to meet customer demand, identify constraints, reduce cycle time, eliminate waste, understanding and dealing with change, cost/benefit analysis, and a direct understanding the relationship between the customer demand and production rate. This text touches on or covers in detail these topics.
I find that the book appears to focus on machine and operator efficiency and utilization, has a primarily decompositional view of work, and concentrates mostly on shopfloor operations. Even with these drawbacks, the text gives the reader solid information on improving workplace design and reducing cycle time while improving worker safety and productivity. I use the discussion on machine and worker utilization to compare and contrast with other manufacturing philosophies, and to relate what the text is covering to more 'big picture' aspects. Other topics not included are a good discussion of maintenance operations and quality. I suggest using other sources to incorporate those topics. All in all, the book is not perfect. It is a very good reference book and text book.
1955 Concepts in 1999 Edition.......2000-10-07
This antiquated textbook is still used at colleges and universities throughout the United States. The first edition of this book was published in 1955 and, after nine more editions, appears largely unchanged in its mentality. Specifically, the textbook is written for a time when corporations had legions of industrial engineers who did nothing but detailed and tedious time and motion studies. Unfortunately, today's dynamic manufacturing environment renders many of the authors' techniques impractical or even financially hazardous. For example, it emphasizes the need to maximize machine utilization (even if the machine is not considered a bottleneck operation). Practices like these lead to excessive inventory and sub-optimization of the collective manufacturing process. In summary, I believe this textbook does a great disservice to those manufacturing firms that have achieved dramatic productivity gains through the application of lean manufacturing techniques.

I needed this book and I needed it in a hurry. It shipped within 24 hours and I received it in less than 24 hours after it shipped.
excelente.......2000-01-12
Todo instrumentista o ingeniero de proceso debe tener este libro. Siendo el flujo, una de las variables más comunes y más dificiles de controlar, debido a las distintas características que puede presentar, encontraran todo lo necesario en estas páginas, desde lo elemental y facil de entender hasta el desarrollo matemático de las formulas.
The Only You Will Ever Need on Flow Meters.......1998-06-13
Highly detailed in every way. Complete equations suitable for computer programming. In fact, Rosemount and other companies refer to this handbook exclusively. The index is the best way to use this book. As handbooks go, it is easy to use and an excellent compilation of vendor information as well as original R&D information. There are a few quarks in the equations for integral orifices, but the actual errors are negligable. I got improved equations from Rosemount. The only reason why I did not give 5 stars is that it takes some time to dig information from the handbook. It's all there, but, it takes time to digest it. You must have this book if you encounter instruments, particularly, flow metes, during your work. You must have this book!
Book Description
Used increasingly in telecommunications, scientific research, surveillance, and meteorology, satellites rely heavily on complex onboard control systems. This book explains the basic theory of spacecraft dynamics and control and the practical aspects of controlling a satellite. The emphasis is on analyzing and solving real-world engineering problems. Among the topics covered are orbital dynamics, attitude dynamics, gravity gradient stabilization, single and dual spin stabilization, attitude maneuvers, attitude stabilization, and structural dynamics and liquid sloshing.
Book Description
Plasma processing of semiconductors is an interdisciplinary field requiring knowledge of both plasma physics and chemical engineering. The two authors are experts in each of these fields, and their collaboration results in the merging of these fields with a common terminology. Basic plasma concepts are introduced painlessly to those who have studied undergraduate electromagnetics but have had no previous exposure to plasmas. Unnecessarily detailed derivations are omitted; yet the reader is led to understand in some depth those concepts, such as the structure of sheaths, that are important in the design and operation of plasma processing reactors. Physicists not accustomed to low-temperature plasmas are introduced to chemical kinetics, surface science, and molecular spectroscopy. The material has been condensed to suit a nine-week graduate course, but it is sufficient to bring the reader up to date on current problems such as copper interconnects, low-k and high-k dielectrics, and oxide damage. Students will appreciate the web-style layout with ample color illustrations opposite the text, with ample room for notes. The included CD contains a copy of the book which can be indexed using a Search function, and which can be enlarged on a monitor for a closer look at the diagrams. Sample homework and exam problems can also be found on the CD.
This short book is ideal for new workers in the semiconductor industry who want to be brought up to speed with minimum effort. It is also suitable for Chemical Engineering students studying plasma processing of materials; Engineers, physicists, and technicians entering the semiconductor industry who want a quick overview of the use of plasmas in the industry.

Book Description
The most popular book on the market that takes an applications-oriented approach to engineering technology fluid mechanics, Applied Fluid Mechanics covers all of the basic principles of fluid mechanics–both static and dynamic–in a clear, practical presentation that ties theory directly to real devices and systems used in chemical process industries, manufacturing, plant engineering, waste water handling and product design. Readable and clearly written, the new 6
th edition brings a much more attractive appearance to the book and includes many updates and additional features.
Primary emphasis is on fluid properties, the measurement of pressure, density, viscosity, and flow, fluid statics, flow of fluids in pipes and noncircular conduits, pump selection and application, open channel flow, forces developed by fluids in motion, the design and analysis of HVAC ducts, and the flow of air and other gases.
An excellent reference and handbook for mechanical engineers, manufacturing engineers, civil engineers, and chemical engineers.
Customer Reviews:
Good book........2005-08-15
This book was the assigned reading material for my engineering technology course. Its primary purpose was to give us an `introduction' to fluid related concepts, and in that area I would say it was very successful. This books writing style is extremely easy to follow, and unlike some of my other textbooks was actually enjoyable to read. It provided step by step instructions on how to solve problems, and also offered more than enough problems for the students to solve themselves. The only issue I have with this book relates to the rather limited examples it provides. In its solutions it illustrates how to solve the simple problems, but negates to do the more complicated ones which sometimes left me clueless on how to proceed. This book is also rather expansive and does not go very deep into the subject.. If your looking for a good introduction book for your course, or some extra learning material this is a great choice. If you're a more advanced reader, I suggest you look elsewhere.
Don't adapt for your course.......2004-06-03
The book is very shallow and not worth considering for any engineering or any technical degree. it might be good for high school level pre-engineering classes, but difinetly not at college or university level.
Bob Mott knows how to teach........1999-12-28
This is a great text for technology based fluid mechanics. To elementary for an engineering student, but then it was meant for an engineering technology student. I find it easy to use. My students love it. There are few, if any, technology based fluid mechanics texts available of this caliber. I only wish it were less expensive.
Best text I've had the pleasure to read, helpful examples.......1999-05-16
I am the type of person who generally hates the way that texts are written. I have always said, that if I were to write a text, it would be this way. The whole class talks about this book, we love it at at the University here.
Book Description
A best-seller since the introduction of the first edition in 1991, Flow Measurement, 2nd Edition, is the leading authority on all aspects of the field, from the most basic principles and tips to advanced theory and applications. Rather than relying on the inherent limitations of a single author, this resource provides readers with authoritative material from specialists in every flow measurement technology used in industry. For this new edition, over 30 authors have rewritten, updated, and expanded virtually every element of this comprehensive reference. Editors expanded the scope of the book by adding new chapters on laminar flow elements, critical flowmeters, statistics for measurement, laboratory primary standards, and uncertainty in flow measurement.
Beginning with chapters on the need for flow measurement, a brief history of the field, and physical properties of fluids, the text takes readers through basics such as the fundamentals of flow measurement, calibration, and installation and maintenance of flowmeters. Material in these early chapters emphasizes the importance of accuracy in measurements and ways of ensuring accuracy and avoiding equipment damage through correct forecast of operating conditions, flowmeter selection, installation, calibration, and maintenance. Fundamental considerations such as mixed-phase flow, piping effects, and flow conditioning are examined at length. The problem of attaining a meaningful flow signal through linearization, compensation, and totalization is also discussed.
The book dedicates a whole chapter to each major technology including differential pressure flowmeters, critical flowmeters, laminar flow elements, magnetic flowmeters, mass flowmeters, open channel flow measurement, oscillatory flowmeters, positive displacement flowmeters, target flowmeters, thermal mass flowmeters and controllers, tracer dilution measurement, turbine flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters, variable area flowmeters, insertion flow measurement, custody transfer measurement, and sanitary flowmeters. An additional six chapters provide in-depth reference material on other related aspects of flow measurement that include flowmeter selection, uncertainty in flow measurement, laboratory primary standards, flow measurement proficiency testing, industry standards, and flowmeter specifications.
This resource is an essential reference for control systems engineers, instrument designers, instrumentation technicians, calibration specialists, maintenance managers, technical sales representatives, training instructors, researchers, and anyone else who deals with flow measurement technology.
Customer Reviews:
A good introductory reference on the fundamentals of Flow Measurement and Flowmeters Technology.......2006-07-09
This volume is part of the Practical Guides Series developed and published by ISA (formerly "The Instrument Society of America", later "The International Society for Measurement and Control" and now known as "The Instrument, Systems and Automation Society"). The Practical Guides were concived to bridge the gap between theory and actual practice, and the stress is placed on the actual experience of measurement and control practitioners.
I own this book, it's A good introductory reference on the fundamentals of Flow Measurement and Flowmeters Technology, presented in a practical language.
This book is organized as follows:
- Why measure flow.
- Historical perspective.
- Physical properties of fluids.
- Fundamentals of flow measurement.
- Linearization, compensation and totalization of flow signals.
- Field calibration.
- Installation and maintenance.
- Differential pressure flowmeters.
- Magnetic flowmeters.
- Mass flowmeters.
- Open channel flow measurement.
- Oscilatory flowmeters.
- Positive diplacement flowmeters for liquid measurement.
- Target flowmeters.
- Thermal mass flowmeters and controllers.
- Tracer dillution measurement of flow.
- Turbine flowmeters.
- Ultrasonic flowmeters.
- Variable area flowmeters.
- Insertion (sampling) flow measurement.
- Custody transfer measurement.
- Sanitary flowmeters.
- Flowmeter selection.
- Flow metrology: standards, calibrations, and traceabilities.
- Standards in flow measurement.
- Flowmeter specifications.
If you need more in-depth information, or if you specify, install, maintain and operate Flowmeters and other Process Variables Meters, you might also want to consider Bela Liptak's Instruments Engineer's Handbook Volume 1 - Process Measurement and Analysis.
I own both books and they excellent references and very useful in my job. I have been working for more than 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation, and Process Safety and Control Engineer for the Oil & Gas Industry.
Everything you need to know about flowmeters.......2002-02-09
This is the only book I know of that thoroughly explains every flow measurement technology. If you ever buy or specify flowmeters, it's a great reference to have.

The Dynamics of Fashion - Elaine Stone 5 stars!!.......2003-12-22
This book is an excellent tool for all fashion students, or those just interested in learning more about the #1 money making industry in the U.S. Information on topics ranging from textiles to merchandising to cosmetics to retailing, and so much more. Very detailed, lots of pictures, helpful internet resources, glossary, and also the authors list of her 100 top apparel designers starting at Adolfo, ending at Yohji Yamamoto. This book was very helpful to me when I took the class Introduction to Fashion Merchandising.
17 years old FIT student love this book........1999-11-06
I am fortunate enough to have met Ms. Elaine Stone herself and find her style to be that of great elegance, sophistication, grace, and poshness. She is by far the most fashionable person I have yet to meet. Reading The Dynamics of Fashion as my textbook for my FM114 class I found it very informant and recommend it to everyone, even those who are not a student of fashion.

Mechanical Vibrations (Dover Books on Engineering)
ASIN: 0750671505 |
Book Description
In a single useful volume, Vibration Fundamentals explains the basic theory, applications, and benefits of vibration analysis, which is the dominant predictive maintenance technique used with maintenance management programs.
All mechanical equipment in motion generates a vibration profile, or signature, that reflects its operating condition. This is true regardless of speed or whether the mode of operation is rotation, reciprocation, or linear motion. There are several predictive maintenance techniques used to monitor and analyze critical machines, equipment, and systems in a typical plant. These include vibration analysis, ultrasonics, thermography, tribology, process monitoring, visual inspection, and other nondestructive analysis techniques. Of these techniques, vibration analysis is the dominant predictive maintenance technique used with maintenance management programs, and this book explains the basic theory, applications, and benefits in one easy-to-absorb volume that plant staff will find invaluable.
This is the second book in a new series published by Butterworth-Heinemann in association with PLANT ENGINEERING magazine. PLANT ENGINEERING fills a unique information need for the men and women who operate and maintain industrial plants. It bridges the information gap between engineering education and practical application. As technology advances at increasingly faster rates, this information service is becoming more and more important. Since its first issue in 1947, PLANT ENGINEERING has stood as the leading problem-solving information source for America's industrial plant engineers, and this book series will effectively contribute to that resource and reputation.
