Cylindrical Grinding Machine - Development - History
Cylindrical grinding is defined as having four essential actions:
The work (object) must be constantly rotating
The grinding wheel must be constantly rotating
The grinding wheel is fed towards and away from the work
Either the work or the grinding wheel is traversed with respect to the other.
The basis for the modern day cylindrical grinder: Jonathan Bridges and James Wheaton are closely tied to the first historical appearance of the modern day tool in the 1830s. It took another 40 years before further improvement and refinement of the tool occurred.
The Brown & Sharpe company in Providence, RI. It was this desire that led to their experimentation with building a cylindrical grinder. The first attempt was simply a small lathe with a grinding wheel mounted to it. Subsequent attempts led to the cylindrical grinder displayed at the 1876 Centennial Exposition and the subsequent patent.
A man in Waltham, Massachusetts, Ambrose Webster had created a small grinding machine in 1860 that contained all of the improvements Brown & Sharpe claimed to be their own original invention. The emphasis on precision, accuracy, and reliability was championed by Charles Norton. Norton was an employee of Brown & Sharpe who quit the company with the desire to further pursue his belief that the cylindrical grinder is not merely a finishing tool but could be a staple of the machine shop. He founded the Norton Grinding Company, where he continued improving the cylindrical grinder to use faster rpm values and more precise grinding tolerances. On April 18, 1925, when was awared The John Scott Medal and Premium for his invention of "accurate grinding devices of high power". These standards developed by Norton were the status quo until about the middle of the 20th century.
The innovation of the last 70 years can be characterized by three waves of change. The first wave was the creation of numerical control. The second wave of innovation, occurring during the 1970s and 1980s, is marked by the massive demand for microcomputers to be used to direct NC. The joining of computers marked the birth of Computer Numerical Control which once again revolutionized the ability of the cylindrical grinder. Now the machine was able to receive instruction from a computer which would give it precise directions on every imaginable dimension and measurement needed to produce the desired product. This was a completely different work environment in comparison to mid-century production where a worker had to direct the machine at every point on how to manipulate the work. The third wave of change came in the 1990s with the advent of the Personal Computer. Integrating CNC and the PC into one dynamic system allowed for even further control of the manufacturing process that required little to no human supervision.

CNC systems for more productivity
To increase surface quality and throughput on grinding applications it is important that your CNC supports features designed to get the best out of your machining processes. Whether you are employing cylindrical grinding to improve the surfaces on turned workpieces, flat grinding to create shapes and surfaces or 5 axis grinding to make tools, maximising productivity and getting the best results from your CNC machine is also a lot easier with the help of a dedicated partner.

IEPPHE - Industrial Engineering of Product, Process and Human Effort
Industrial engineering is improvement of engineering elements in products, processes and facilities. In addition industrial engineers improve elements of human effort. Productivity improvement is thus achieved by improved of engineering and human elements and it is measured by element times in operations/processes. Productivity improvement results in reduction of element times and this leads to reduction in cost. Industrial engineering emerged out of the idea advocated by F.W. Taylor "Elementary rate fixing department."
Reasons for Excess Work Content - Cost in the Output of Engineering Processes
Product Design Inefficiencies in the elements - materials, material form, design rules, tolerances, surface finish, coating etc. Product Industrial Engineering
Process Design/Plan Inefficiencies in elements - machine, work holding, cutting tool material, cutting tool geometry, cutting parameters, cutting fluids, machine lubricant, communication of process plan to operators, work piece location for input, work piece location and system of disposing finished piece, inspection gauges and method of inspection, safety accessories for operator, set up time etc.
Process Industrial Engineering
Facilities Design Inefficiencies in elements - work station layout, plant layout, transportation methods, loading and unloading from transport equipment, delays in transportation, etc.
Inefficiencies in elements of human effort - wastes of physical activity, lack of motivation, beliefs, values, health, fatigue, communication, leadership, supervision, training, development, salary compensation etc. Human Effort Industrial Engineering

The reasons for excess work content were depicted as a diagram in ILO Work Study Book.

Two Important Strategies for Green Growth - Resource Efficiency and Waste Management
The use efficiency of material resources and energy resources has to be increased to prevent permanent damage of the environment. The damage to the environment can cause serious problems to humans on the earth and may even make them totally disappear. We can imagine now how dinosaurs disappeared from earth.
Many strategies are being implemented now due to the discoveries of science and the related actions by people,businesses and government. Two strategies, resource efficiency improvement and waste management were specially highlighted by Dr. Ajay Mathur in an article in Times of India dated 11 January 2020.
I welcome the setting up of National Resource Efficiency Authority similar to Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
Industrial engineering is the academic discipline in engineering with focus on increasing the efficiency or productivity of resources used in engineering processes, departments and organisations. The present need for increasing resource efficiency has to lead to increased amount of industrial engineering. Industrial engineering discipline has to come forward and increase their productivity improvement efforts. The organizations now promoting resource efficiency as part of green movement has to ask industrial engineering to participate in their mission.

G.J. Stegemerten - Pioneer Industrial Engineer
Stegemerten is to be remembered as a pioneer industrial engineer. His name is not discussed that much in industrial engineering literature. But the contributions of many industrial engineers have enriched the subject, once it was started as a consultancy practice and academic discipline (1908).
Stegemerten wrote books and also articles and papers.

Process Planning - The Design/Manufacture Interface - Peter Scallan - Book Information
Process Planning: The design/manufacture interface (Google eBook)
Peter Scallan
Butterworth-Heinemann, 20-Jun-2003 - 496 pages
Process planning is an important topic industrial engineering. The Operation Analysis activity examines process plans and improves their efficiency.
Process Planning covers the selection of processes, equipment, tooling and the sequencing of operations required to transform a chosen raw material into a finished product. Initial chapters review materials and processes for manufacturing and are followed by chapters detailing the core activities involved in process planning, from drawing interpretation to preparing the final process plan. The concept of maximising or 'adding value' runs throughout the book and is supported with activities.
Designed as a teaching and learning resource, each chapter begins with learning objectives, explores the theory behind process planning, and sets it in a 'real-life' context through the use of case studies and examples. Furthermore, the questions in the book develop the problem-solving skills of the reader.
ISO standards are used throughout the book (these are cross-referenced to corresponding British standards).
This is a core textbook, aimed at undergraduate students of manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering with manufacturing options and materials science.
* Features numerous case studies and examples from industry to help provide an easy guide to a complex subject
* Fills a gap in the market for which there are currently no suitable texts
* Learning aims and objectives are provided at the beginning of each chapter - a user-friendly method to consolidate learning
