What Lies Ahead?

The productivity of any material removal process is mainly controlled by the cutting speeds and feed rates that are selected. Thus the skills needed to carry out the machining process are those required for the most productive employment of those two parameters. Until early in the 20th century, the...

description The productivity of any material removal process is mainly controlled by the cutting speeds and feed rates that are selected. Thus the skills needed to carry out the machining process are those required for the most productive employment of those two parameters. Until early in the 20th century, the machine-tool operator was the responsible person. In the 1970s, the advent of the new technology of computer integrated manufacturing shifted the responsibility to the newly created position of manufacturing systems engineer/technologist, where it has remained. What will be the machining skills requirements of tomorrow's manufacturing industry? The answer lies in one's answer to the query: what will be the nature of the future manufacturing enterprise?
