Abstract

This paper examines the foundation for economic analysis in unreliable metal cutting processes. Using queuing models, we present some observations on the effect of cutting speed upon tool life, rate of acceptance of work, and mean flow time in machining parameter optimization. [Published circa 1987-1989.]
