Concurrent optimization of design and machining tolerances using the genetic algorithms method

The allocation of design and machining tolerances has a significant effect on both manufacturing cost and quality. This paper presents a procedure to concurrently allocate both design and machining tolerances based on optimum total machining cost. The non-linear multi-variable optimization problem formulated is solved using the genetic algorithms method. Two design examples involving concurrent allocation of both design and machining tolerances are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
