This book covers various multiple-criteria decision making (mcdm) methods for modeling and optimization of advanced manufacturing processes (AMPs). Processes such as non-conventional machining, rapid prototyping, environmentally conscious machining and hybrid machining are finally put together in a single book. It highlights the research advances and discusses the published literature of the last 15 years in the field. Case studies of real life manufacturing situations are also discussed.

Presents new decision making models for modeling and optimization of processes Lists applications in real life manufacturing situations Captures the complete discussion of the literature of the last 15 years in the field
