Abstract
- The work of manufacturing engineers is to utilize the minimum amount of energy or resources in bringing out a product without compromising on quality. Hence, to achieve this, the engineers must figure out the optimum or the best possible method to fabricate a product. This paper uses a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) model namely Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) to determine the best possible machining process to achieve the optimum results for an engraving operation on gear face in an automobile industry which uses five nontraditional machining processes viz; Laser Beam Machining (LBM), Ultrasonic Machining (USM), Electric Discharge Machining (EDM), Electrochemical Machining (ECM) and Electron Beam Machining (EBM). The five criteria considered in this paper are Material Removal Rate (MRR), Surface Finish, Depth Damage, Tolerance and Toxicity. The AHP result shows that ECM is the most suitable machining process as compared to others.
