Abstract
This paper reports an integrated approach for jointly solving the process selection, machining parameter selection, and tolerance design problems to avoid inconsistent and infeasible decisions. The integrated problem is formulated as a bicriterion model to handle both tangible and intangible costs. The model is solved using a modified Chebyshev goal programming method to achieve a preferred compromise between the two conflicting and noncommensurable criteria. Examples are provided to illustrate the application of the model and the solution procedure. The results show that the decisions on process selection, machining parameter selections, and tolerance design can be made simultaneously with the model.
