Abstract
When given batches of different components are to be completed in fixed periods, each component requiring different machining processes to be made on different machine tools, the cutting conditions for minimum overall machining cost can be determined with due consideration for the technological constraints related to each specific operation. The economic effects of batch- and machine-idle time.and of other disturbing events are also discussed. Some measures to counteract these effects are proposed.Keywords
