Swift and Booker published a book on Process Selection methodology from design for manufacturing perspective.
There created a table giving material as columns, quantity to be produced as rows and possible manufacturing processes in the cells. They also described each process with a standard format.
They provided a course page having good amount of content from their book and 10 descriptions of the processes (PRIMAs)

Designing Capable and Reliable Products offers an introduction to the importance of capability, quality and reliability in
product development. It introduces the concept of capable design, focusing on producing designs that meet quality standards and also looks at linking component manufacture and its process capability with failure rates. It provides an introduction to reliable design, incorporating the probabilistic concept of reliability into the product design.
This quantitative and highly practical volume provides practical methods for analysing mechanical designs with respect to their capability and reliability. Practising engineers who have to hit definite standards for design will find this book invaluable, as it outlines methods which use physically significant data to quanitify engineering risks at the design stage. By obtaining more realistic measures of design performance, failure costs can be reduced. Taking product design as its central theme, this book is a very useful tool for postgraduate students as well as professional engineers.

Manufacturing Process Selection Handbook provides engineers and designers with process knowledge and the essential technological and cost data to guide the selection of manufacturing processes early in the product development cycle.
Building on content from the authors’ earlier introductory Process Selection guide, this expanded handbook begins with the challenges and benefits of identifying manufacturing processes in the design phase and appropriate strategies for process selection. The bulk of the book is then dedicated to concise coverage of different manufacturing processes, providing a quick reference guide for easy comparison and informed decision making.
For each process examined, the book considers key factors driving selection decisions, including:
Basic process descriptions with simple diagrams to illustrate
Notes on material suitability
Notes on available process variations
Economic considerations such as costs and production rates
Typical applications and product examples
Notes on design aspects and quality issues
Providing a quick and effective reference for the informed selection of manufacturing processes with suitable characteristics and capabilities, Manufacturing Process Selection Handbook is intended to quickly develop or refresh your experience of selecting optimal processes and costing design alternatives in the context of concurrent engineering. It is an ideal reference for those working in mechanical design across a variety of industries and a valuable learning resource for advanced students undertaking design modules and projects as part of broader engineering programs.
Provides manufacturing process information maps (PRIMAs) provide detailed information on the characteristics and capabilities of 65 processes in a standard format
Includes process capability charts detailing the processing tolerance ranges for key material types
Offers detailed methods for estimating costs, both at the component and assembly level
