Abstract

In the present paper, fuzzy-scale-based multiple attribute decision making (MADM-TOPSIS) method has been reported to rank five different alternative finishing processes for an internal cylindrical surface through systematic multi-attribute based evaluation. The mathematical procedure yields a suitability index which is used to rank finishing processes. The present TOPSIS-MADM method indicates that the honing process is the most suitable finishing process for the internal cylindrical surfaces whereas on the other hand, the processes like ultra sonic machining and abrasive flow machining are not desirable when they are to be considered for finishing an internal cylindrical surface.
