Production Engineering, Administration and Management: A Series of Articles Providing a Complete Survey of the Economics of Production for Aeronautical Engineers

THIS is the first of a scries of articles on the broad subject of Production Engineering. Its object is to introduce and to explain the framework of the subsequent parts; to clear up some current misunderstandings, and to define the scope of the subject. The whole field will be reviewed briefly, not in a highly technical manner but for the practising aeronautical engineer regardless of his specialization; but it is hoped that even those who have an expert knowledge of many of the subjects included in this review will find some clarifications and some ideas which will be useful in their work.
