AUTOMATED EVALUATION AND SELECTION OF A RATIONAL TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS

Tanya AVRAMOVA, Teodora PENEVA

Abstract


Informed and rational decision making in today's fast-paced manufacturing environment is essential to increase efficiency, optimize costs and maintain the competitiveness of manufacturing companies. Modern industry is often faced with the need to evaluate multiple criteria such as: performance, accuracy, roughness, etc. This makes traditional (manual methods) inefficient and error prone. Based on the mentioned requirements and in order to follow the principles of Industry 4.0. for automation of production processes, the paper presents a tool for evaluation and selection of a rational technological process, implemented in the MS Excel environment. The presented methodology, which is implemented in the evaluation tool, and the practical example demonstrate how the flexible adaptation of criteria and their weights can lead to informed decision-making that can benefit both manufacturing companies and other industrial sectors. The developed tool contributes to make informed decisions by providing fast and reliable analysis, in addition to providing information on the stability of the processes under consideration.
