Hybridizing a Multi Response Taguchi Algorithm with Reference Ideal Method to Solve Machining Problems

Abstract

New materials lead to the occurrence of high technology industries. These materials are high strength, corrosion and heat resistant steel alloys, titanium, ceramics, composites, and other non-metallic materials. Conventional machining methods are not proper to machine these materials in terms of high surface quality. Such materials are generally processed using non-traditional machining methods. Multi criteria decision making models (MCDM) are extensively used in material-process selection, and optimization of machining problems in engineering. In this study, a novel hybrid optimization model is proposed. Taguchi method is hybridized with Reference Ideal Method. The model is tested using two case studies (conventional and non-traditional machining problems) taken from literature. The proposed model can be used by engineers and operators in manufacturing environment.

The Study of Optimal Molding of a LED Lens with Grey Relational Analysis and Molding Simulation

“…Sofuoglu and Orak [12] applied the Best-Worst method hybridized with TOPSIS, Grey Relational Analysis, and Weighted Sum Approach in turning operation. The results of both [11,12] showed the combination of multi criteria decision making can be applied by operator and engineering in the manufacturing environment. Sofuoglu et al [13] also applied five different hybrid multi-criteria decision making models in different cutting conditions in turning operation.…”

“…Their results proved this methodology was efficient for solving multi attribute decision making problem as a case study in hard machining environment. Sofuoglu [11] used Taguchi method with Reference Ideal Method to solve the machining problem. Sofuoglu and Orak [12] applied the Best-Worst method hybridized with TOPSIS, Grey Relational Analysis, and Weighted Sum Approach in turning operation.…”

Financial Performance Analysis with Reference Ideal Method: An Application on BIST Insurance Companies

“…Hibrit yaklaşımın sonuçlarının farklı yöntemlerle bulunan sonuçlarla çok benzerlik gösterdiği görülmüş ve çalışmada kullanılan yöntemin malzeme işlemesinde parametre optimizasyonu problemlerinde alternatif bir yöntem olarak kullanılabileceği belirtilmiştir. Sofuoğlu (2017b) malzemelerin torna tezgâhında işlendiğinde oluşan yüzey pürüzlülüğü, kesme kuvveti ve talaş miktarını optimize etmek için farklı parametrelerle yirmi deney tasarlamıştır. Yapılan yirmi deney ÇKKV probleminin alternatiflerini, yüzey pürüzlülüğü, kesme kuvveti ve talaş miktarı da problemin kriterlerini oluşturmuştur.…”
