Abstract
This paper concerns the modelling of cost-tolerance data for various m anufacturing processes and the optimisation of process sequences based on minimum production cost. A natural spline model representing the c ost-tolerance relationship is introduced. A methodology to optimise th e process sequences is developed using an expert system approach. An e xample to illustrate the methodology and the optimisation model is pre sented.
