I am grateful to many people: to Kevin White of Kogan Page for his patience and professionalism; to my colleagues for their help, especially Lynne Mills, Dawn Dennis, Ilse Browne and most particularly Pat Collis; and finally to Janet and Simon for enduring my morose bad temper and for suffering so much extra 'Daddy work'.

The Consortium of Heads of University and Polytechnic Departments of Production Engineering
The Consortium is an independent body and was established at a meeting held at the Lough borough University of Technology on 17th February 1978. Its main aim is to promote production engineering education, training and research. To achieve this the Consortium maintains a close liaison with those Government Departments and other bodies concerned with the initial and continuing education and training of professional engineers and responds to appropriate consultative and discussion documents and other initiatives. It organizes and supports national production engineering education and research conferences and symposia. The Institution of Production Engineers, with whom there is a close working arrangement, undertakes the secretarial duties. The Consortium consists of the Heads of those university and polytechnic departments or sections whose first priority is to production engineering and who have a direct responsibility for running Honours degree courses in the field of production engineering. In September 1985 the membership was as follows:
Professor Nigel Corlett (Joint Chainnan) Department of Production Engineering and Production Management, University of Nottingham Dr. Bob Schofield (Joint Chainnan) School of Mechanical and Production Engineering, Leeds Polytechnic Professor John Anderson Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering, Paisley College of Technology Professor Aladdin Bahrani Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Queen's University of Belf
