Innovative Production Machines and Systems Conference

Introduction

• The design and functioning of a Flexible Tool Management Strategy (FTMS) paradigms for optimum tool inventory sizing of CBN grinding wheels for nickel alloy turbine blade fabrication is presented

• The FTMS is integrated in a Multi-Agent Tool Management System (MATMS) as a domain specific problem solving function of the intelligent agent responsible for tool inventory sizing and control

• The evaluation and comparison of the performance of the FTMS was carried out with reference to two real industrial cases of CBN grinding wheel inventory management
