the tool tougher than the work piece. There is less tool wear in ECM‚ and less heat and stress are produced in processing that could damage the part. Fewer passes are typically needed‚ and the tool can be repeatedly used. Disadvantages are the high tooling costs of ECM‚ and that up to 40‚000 amps of current must be applied to the work piece. The saline (or Acidic) electrolyte also poses the risk of corrosion to tool‚ work piece and equipment. EDM Electric discharge machining (EDM)‚ sometimes colloquially

ABSTRACT This paper will discuss manufacturing management which will focus on how manufacturing process management (MPM) can improve entire production process. In the early 1900s‚ it was allocated manufacturing expenses on the basis of direct labor cost. The manufacturing process was not automated. There were hardly any variations in the products made. In those days‚ when manufacturers increased the amount of direct labor‚ there was likely to be a related increase in such things as the number
