Reducing costs in production processes

Darina Matiskova

Cost reduction in manufacturing processes is nowadays very important. This paper deals with cost increases in Engineering Enterprises. When cutting conditions and tool durability optimizing, it is necessary to apply certain optimizing criterion within certain restraining conditions. The restrictions are given by technical parameters of a machine, tool, machined material, required quality of machined surface etc. The notion of „machinability of materials“ is a complex of characteristics of the machined material which is monitored in the view of its fitness for the production in a certain way of machining. The essential economic criterion is the amount of production cost.
