Preface

Mankind has a long and successful history of continuously adapting to its

changing environment. One of the key elements of this adaptation process is

the development of precise skills to design, shape, and repeatedly produce

objects with various materials that also evolve: from stone to bronze, from

iron to steel, from composite to nano materials, the quest never ends. As

a result of this long evolution process, today we live in a world of global

production: in 2012, for the first time, over 60 million cars were produced

worldwide, and over 415 million mobile phones were produced only in the

first quarter of 2013! Needless to say, the total production of all goods

worldwide has simply become intractable.

It is the thesis of this encyclopedia that in a sustainable world, the knowl-

edge about good design practices, materials, and manufacturing technologies

used to produce goods should be easily available and shared. Production

engineering is a fast evolving area, and the production map on our little

planet, now a global village, has recently undergone very important changes.

New technologies are being deployed while manufacturing strategies are

constantly changing. Global production networks and supply chains are

created and international co-operation is quickly evolving.

Change is certainly not new, but the speed at which it takes place is. Not

surprisingly, the technical vocabulary in this engineering domain also expe-

riences significant expansion. New concepts in the fields of design, optimi-

zation, control, and management of processes, machines, and systems

continuously emerge, thereby increasing the importance of communication

and the need for a rigorous and unified technical terminology.

But one must remember that knowledge, rather than being spontaneous, is

an incremental concept. Therefore, right from the beginning, the vision

behind this encyclopedia was to bring a good balance between fundamental

concepts and new emerging ones. In fact, a good proportion of the terms in

this first edition is a result of the continuous monitoring and update of

established concepts upon which new ones are derived. As such, this ency-

clopedia is an evolving product where current authors will continuously

update their essays based on new technical or economical information,

while at the same time new authors will continuously be appointed to write

about new emerging topics. It is the main objective behind the CIRPEncyclopedia of Production Engineering to provide authoritative, exhaus-

tive, fast, and easy access to such precious, fast evolving information.

The target audience includes researchers, engineers, managers, graduate

students, and many others whom day to day work gravitates around produc-

tion engineering technologies in the global market.

CIRP has a long history of standardizing the terminology for technical

terms. Since 1962, CIRP issued a number of trilingual dictionaries of

production engineering in English, French, and German. Not surprisingly,

technical terms are sometimes interpreted differently in their conceptual

contexts in the three languages. The dictionaries took account of this by

including both definitions of the terms and, in some cases, explanatory

illustrations. In this way, CIRP realized one of its fundamental aims, i.e., to

enable correct translation of production engineering terms and to contribute

to a clear, unambiguous professional communication in the three languages.

Throughout the years, some dictionaries were extended to include Danish,

Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and

Turkish translations.

In 2007, CIRP and Springer discussed the idea of creating an electronic

web version of the dictionaries, referred to as E-dictionaries, where such

things as animations, equations, and cross-links to other relevant terms

could be included to further enhance the understanding of the definition of

each term. As a natural extension, the idea of expanding the definitions into

essays was next discussed. At that time both parties started to refer to the work

as an encyclopedia.

In 2009, a pilot project involving 15 essays, 5 in each section of Forming,

Cutting, and Assembly, was initiated. Later on that year, a wiki platform was

developed and improved by Springer staff according to the feedback and

comments provided by CIRP. After the platform was judged to be at an

acceptable level of functionality, Editors in Chief and Section Editors were

appointed and Authors were invited to start using the platform to submit the

15 pilot essays. A successful demo took place at the CIRP general assembly

in Boston in August 2009. From then on, the Editors in Chief created a list of

256 most relevant technical terms to include in the first edition of what is now

called the CIRP Encyclopedia of Production Engineering. It contains more

than 1300 pages, available both in print and online, organized around

11 chapters:

• Abrasive Processes

• Assembly

• Cutting

• Design

• Electro-Physical and Chemical Processes

• Forming

• Life Cycle Engineering

• Machines

• Precision Engineering and Metrology

• Production Systems and Organizations

• Surfaces

Certainly, the most fundamental aspect behind the CIRP Encyclopedia of

Production Engineering is quality of content. This comprehensive work

involves the contribution of more than 200 authors from all around the

world, mostly CIRP fellows, associates, corporates, or affiliates considered as

leading authorities in their field. A thorough review process of each essay was

established under the leadership of each of the 11 Section Editors. We hope

the reader finds it as useful referring to it as it was a great experience for us

building it.

A word from CIRP

The International Academy for Production Engineering Research, also

known as CIRP1, is the world leading organization for production engineering

research and is at the forefront of design, optimization, control, and manage-

ment of processes, machines, and systems for manufacturing. CIRP promotes

research and development among its members from Academia and Industry

to contribute to the global economic growth and well being of society. In this

context, one of the most fundamental roles of CIRP as a global organization is

to ensure as far as possible that the terminology used be standardized and

common across all nations of the earth.

To date, the main publications of CIRP have been the CIRP Annals

(Manufacturing Technology) and the CIRP Journal of ManufacturingScience and Technology. The CIRP Annals are published under ISI standards

each year in two volumes: Vol. I, with refereed papers presented during the

CIRP General Assembly as well as Vol. II with refereed keynote papers.

The CIRP Journal of Manufacturing Science and Technology is published

each year in four volumes. CIRP also publishes the trilingual Dictionaries of

Production Engineering. Beside these main publications, a Newsletter

is published twice a year, as well as CIRP Internal Documents and

Reports from CIRP General Assemblies available on the CIRP website

(www.cirp.net). Finally, the Proceedings of CIRP Conferences are available

online on the Procedia CIRP website.

Six years ago, the CIRP Terminology Committee decided to follow

a totally new pathway in answer to the new age of advanced communications

technology, to the advancing internet-age, and to the cloud capabilities. As an

outcome of the work undertaken, an online platform was launched in 2012 for

the provision of authoritative, exhaustive, fast, and easy access to terms,

definitions, and a whole set of information in the field of production/

manufacturing engineering. The CIRP Encyclopedia of ProductionEngineering is now launched and represents the natural extension of the

current CIRP Dictionaries of Production Engineering. This Encyclopedia

consists of a list of essays that describe each term with definitions,

theory, and applications. It is available both in print and on a website

(www.springerreference.com). The definitions are based on the current

1The acronym CIRP comes from the French appellation of the Academy, namely CollegeInternational pour la Recherche en Productique), headquartered in Paris

ix

Page 10: CIRP Encyclopedia of Production Engineering

content of the CIRP Dictionaries of Production Engineering, with new terms

being added as required.

This is a new and exciting publication and I believe that it represents an

extremely important contribution to the unification of the terminology used in

the world. We need easy availability of terms using modern communications

devices. With the CIRP Encyclopedia of Production Engineering an impor-

tant step forward, a significant step building on the past and capitalizing on

the capabilities of current and future communications technology has been

achieved.

Luc Laperriere is a full-time professor in the mechanical engineering

department of Universite du Quebec a Trois-Rivieres since 1991. He received

both his master’s and Ph.D. degrees from McMaster University, Canada, in

1990 and 1992, respectively. He was also appointed Chair of his department

from 2010 to 2013.

During a sabbatical in 1999, he developed a new and original continuous-

discrete simulation software. This was done in collaboration with

a commercial software distributor. The developed modules are now part of

the basic version of a software that is distributed worldwide.

In 2005, he was leading a multidisciplinary engineering team responsible

for the design and implementation of the Distributed Control System (DCS)

of a fully operational pulp and paper mill with a complete paper machine in

a new 11,000 m2 building on campus, representing a total investment of

80 million Canadian dollars, 10 % of which came directly from industry.

This DCS manages over 3,000 I/Os and 500 control loops and its flexibility is

still unique worldwide.

In 2010, he became the Founding Director of the Laboratory of Mechanics

and Eco-Materials (LMEM). He helped develop a new type of eco-composite

material from amix of long and short natural fibers that decreases the inherent

variability of the final part properties.

He has filed two patents, published close to 100 papers in leading

trade journals and international refereed conferences, and supervised over

40 master’s and Ph.D. students.
