Development of a Decision Support System for Machine Selection

This paper reports about the initial phase of research concept for the development of decision support system (DSS) for machine tool selection that will enable process planners to get detailed information about the machine during procurement process. In this paper, a machine selection problem in process planning will be presented by setting the decision- making model with defined criteria and alternatives. The main idea is to set general directions for developing a DSS and then conduct a survey among machine manufacturers to collect data, which will be entered in the database. The overall goal of the research is to collect not only the technical and economic data, but also the data concerning energy efficiency of machines. Applying the proposed model in DSS will help the users, i.e. process planners to determine the most energy efficient machine. In that way it will contribute to environmental protection and efficient production environment.
