The book manufacturing processes is a collection of technologies and methods used to define how products are to be manufactured. The book focuses on an optimal inventory policy under certainty distributed demand for cutting tools with stochastically distributed lifespan, manufacturer-retailer inventory model for deteriorating items with price-sensitive credit-linked demand under two-level trade credit financing and profit sharing contract in supply chain, coordinated inventory management of an agile multi-echelon, multi-product supply chain. It also analyzes linear programming for a comprehensive reverse supply chain, factors important to enhance productivity, multi-objective optimization algorithms for mixed model assembly line balancing problem with parallel workstations, multi-criteria decision-making methodology for conveyor system selection, The book also deals with three-dimensional sphere packing problems, effect of roasting on physicochemical and functional properties of flaxseed flour, implementation of hybrid parallel kanban-CONWIP system. It will help researchers, students and professionals to gain more in depth knowledge towards manufacturing processes and its aspects.

Britt Edmond is an associate professor in Mechanical Engineering at the Public Research University, Eindhoven. He received his master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and PhD in Materials Engineering from University at Worcester. He has extensive research experience of more than 2 decades in the field of engineering, Edmond has edited and co-edited various technical journals and dozens of articles, research papers, and book chapters at numerous occasions, and for this he got several awards and recognition in his career. His current research interests are in system identification control, and filtering in the manufacturing process planning and simulation upstream context.
