Multi-Criteria Management of the Life Cycle of Metal Cutting Process

In this study the authors investigate the metal cutting process based on the concept of product lifecycle and technology management, according to which, for the metal cutting process to take place efficiently, the experts propose their variables, functional constraints, and criteria together.  The authors consider various binding conditions related to the temperature, tool stiffness and workpiece. The method of analysis of the multi-objective management problem is proposed, which makes it possible to find solutions when expert requirements change during the reconciliation process. Based on the results of the multi-criteria analysis, acceptable manufacturing options that satisfy the requirements of all the experts are selected. This method can also be used in other engineering and technical fields.
