ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explains awareness about among engineering and management students, research scholars, faculty, and practicing engineers and managers. It describes new techniques with several examples taken from the literature for different types of manufacturing optimization problems: design, tolerance allocation, selection of machining parameters, integrated product development, scheduling, concurrent formation of machine groups and part families, selection of robot coordinates, robot trajectory planning, and intelligent machining. The book also describes all the manufacturing functions have been successfully solved by genetic algorithm techniques. Due to tough global market competition, manufacturers must produce products effectively to receive high customer satisfaction. On the other hand, manufacturers need to meet certain objectives like minimizing the product cost, maximizing the product quality, or a combination of both or other objectives to compete with other products in the global market.
