<p><br></p>Two-Minute Tip
<p>Brad: With "Introduction to Manufacturing", what would be your two-minute tip with that book and that area that you're writing about now?</p>
<p>Michel: It's a book that's intended for people who will be working in manufacturing as engineers or managers. And it's intended to help them for a long period of time. We try to stay away from what is currently fashionable and come up with something that is likely to be useful to them in the long run. A lot of people have expressed interest in this book who are not students. A lot of professors say I'd like to have a copy of this book.</p>
<p>That's wonderful. It's meant for students, but if it's useable by professionals or not students, that's wonderful too. Our target audience is students.</p>
