Optimal Machining Speed and Tool Inventory Policies in Machining Economic Systems uri icon

abstract

  • This paper presents an integrated cost model that combines a tooling inventory control policy with a machining economics scheme in single-stage manufacturing systems. An algorithm is proposed for estimating simultaneously tool cutting speed, along with tool reorder points and safety levels. The behavior of the integrated model is investigated; numerical results are presented. 1996 "IIE".
