Abstract
The selection of the optimum number and right type of cutting tools in manufacturing systems is very important. Set theory has been used for such decision making in this paper. From the known work load and known characteristics of the cutting tool, set-theory analysis leads to the identification of constraints bearing upon the selection of cutting tools. A linear programming formulation then helps in the selection of the optimum number and type of cutting tools. In this paper, this approach has been illustrated by selecting cutting tools for an aircraft-engine parts manufacturing system.
