Abstract
The phrase 'standardization' is indicative of competitiveness in the Japanese manufacturing industry. In manufacturing plants, a wide variety of cutting tools is in use today. In many cases, the cutting tools are stored in disarray. The cutting tool management is far from well-ordered. This paper describes a logical procedure of standardizing the cutting tool specification. The eternal objectives of manufacturing industry are lead time reduction and cost reduction. The accessible as well as effective way of achieving them is the optimization of the manufacturing process. The manufacturing process optimization in metal cutting consists of three basic elements ; cutting tool standardization, CAM utilization, and cutting condition optimization. The standardization of cutting tool specifications is the foundation for improving productivity. Therefore, the cutting tool standardization is inextricably linked with lead time reduction and cost reduction, and should be considered business challenge.
