Green Cutting Fluid Selection using Multi-attribute Decision Making Approach

摘要

Optimal cutting fluid selection for Green Manufacturing (GM) alleviates environmental burdens. In the traditional manufacturing system, the selection of cutting fluid is based on economic and technical factors. But the environmental factors play a vital role in green manufacturing process. Therefore, the selection of green cutting fluid depends on various attributes and it is a multi-attribute decision making process. In this work, a combined method of Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) with multi objective optimization on the basis of ratio analysis has been developed for optimum selection of cutting fluid for green manufacturing that minimizes the environmental impact, cost and maximizes the quality. AHP method has been used to extract the precise value of each of the criterion which influences the assessment values for finding the optimal cutting fluid in this work. A case study of cutting fluid selection in the gear hobbing process has been presented to validate the proposed model. The research result shows that, Syntilo 9930c is the optimal cutting fluid.
