Sommario/riassunto

About the Book:  The main objective of this book is to introduce the subject ``Process Planning and Cost Estimation`` in an integrated manner to the students of Mechanical Engineering and Production Engineering classes.    Process Planning, Cost Estimation and Costing are the critical factors for the continued success of manufacturing enterprises. The world is an international market place. For a manufacturing company to be competitive in the international market place, process planning must be logical, rational, economical and costs of products, sub-assemblies and components must be accuratel
