Non-traditional machining process selection using integrated fuzzy AHP and QFD techniques: a customer perspective

摘要: With the advancement in material science and engineering, hard as well difficult to cut materials are coming fore on regular basis. Machining such advanced with higher geometrical accuracy by conventional means is almost impossible. Thus, demand for desired surface finish leads us a large pool of non-traditional machining (NTM) processes. However, zeroing-in particular NTM process, operation case-specific machining, cumbersome task. In order make this task simpler decision-maker, present research uses, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process calculate relative importance various processes taking product characteristics comparison Finally, an overall score have been obtained using quality function deployment methodology based shape features work combination. Also, variations capability taken int...
