Flexible tool managment strategy

Conclusions

  • Test case applications of the novel FTMS paradigm based on tool management decision making with reference to the value of a future inventory level, Ifut(t + Trt), were presented to illustrate and assess the new FTMS performance versus traditional tool management

  • By comparing the historical and the FTMS simulated inventory level trends for two test case part-numbers, in both instances a notable cost reduction was obtained with the FTMS method

  • The development of the research activity will aim at the generalisation of the management approach to the inventory control applications other than CBN grinding wheel tool management
