| Abstract | The production time, combined with the material removal rate, of the turning process is optimized using geometric programming approach, which is one of the non-linear programming techniques applied in the general Operations Research Study, The constraints used are the maximum cutting parameters, power and surface roughness. The approach involves theoretical modeling for production time of turning process, which is expressed as a function of the cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut). The constrained theoretical model so developed is optimized. The results of the model reveal that the method provides a systematic, easy, effective and efficient technique to obtain the optimal cutting parameters that will minimize the production time of turning process when combined with material removal rate. The rationale behind combining the production time and material removal rate is to reflect the depth of cut in the model (since depth of cut is a factor of material removal rate), and material removal rate is a factor of time which may enhance good quality of product when optimized. The model is validated using data from the turning operation of Cast iron material to produce a Counterweight (a part for Briquette Press or Briquette Machine). Scilab and MS-Excel are used to obtain the values of functions and to graphically determine the minimum production time. It is observed that higher cutting parameters lead to lower production time; but if too high or too low, lead to higher production time. In general, the model can be validated for the turning process of engineering machining operation using any metallic materials to machine a specific product, in accordance to specifications. |
