Abstract Currently, energy conservation draws wide attention in industrial manufacturing systems. In recent years, many studies have aimed at saving energy consumption in the process of manufacturing and scheduling is regarded as an effective approach. This paper puts forwards a multi-objective stochastic parallel machine scheduling problem with the consideration of deteriorating and learning effects. In it, the real processing time of jobs is calculated by using their processing speed and normal processing time. To describe this problem in a mathematical way, a multi-objective stochastic programming model aiming at realizing makespan and energy consumption minimization is formulated. More >

Abstract The purpose of this research is to obtain the optimum cutting parameters to achieve the dimensional accuracy of Nimonic alloy miniature gear manufactured using Wire EDM. The cutting parameters investigated in this study are current, pulse on time (PON), pulse off time (POFF), wire tension (WT) and dielectric fluids. Ethylene glycol, nanopowder of alumina and oxygen are mixed to demineralized water to prepare novel dielectric fluids. Deviation in inner diameter, deviation in outer diameter, deviation in land and deviation in tooth width are considered to check the dimensional accuracy. Taguchi L₁₆ is employed for experimental design More >
