Intelligent Manufacturing

This book sheds light on the development of traditional and advanced optimization methods. Their use in various tradition and non-tradition manufacturing and machining processes for an improved manufacturability is reported. This includes key elements of implementing conventional statistical methods, multi-objective and multi-criteria decision-making methods and evolution of single and multi-target optimization techniques using soft computing to enhance production performance, efficiency and sustainability in manufacturing. The latest research in this area as well as possible avenues of future research are also highlighted.

Reports traditional and advanced optimization methods in manufacturing Covers all important aspects of optimization techniques Presents the development in materials perspective
