3.1.2 Non-conventional Machining Processes<br />

Murugesan (<strong>20</strong>12) employed the Grey relational analysis theory to resolve the complicated interrelationships<br />

among the multiple performance characteristics. In this study the optimization <strong>of</strong> the Electrical Discharge<br />

Machining (EDM) process with multiple performance characteristics based on orthogonal array with the Grey<br />

relational analysis has been studied. Jangra (<strong>20</strong>11) used grey relational analysis along with Taguchi method to<br />

optimize material removal rate and surface roughness simultaneously for WEDM <strong>of</strong> WC-Co composite. Also, he<br />

challenged that solution from this study will be very helpful for tool manufacturer who are willing to search for<br />

an optimal result <strong>of</strong> control factors. Jangra (<strong>20</strong>10) utilised the grey relational analysis along with taguchi method<br />

to optimize multiple machining characteristics in wire electrical discharge machining <strong>of</strong> punching die. D3 tool<br />

steel was chosen for experimentation. Li (<strong>20</strong>09) demonstrated that gray relational analysis can be applied to laser<br />

beam cutting for flash memory modules with special shapes. Rao (<strong>20</strong>09) applied a hybrid approach <strong>of</strong> Taguchi<br />

design methodology and grey relational analysis to optimize multiple performance characteristics in Laser<br />

cutting. The designed results are used in grey relational analysis and to calculate actual weight <strong>of</strong> quality<br />

characteristics, entropy measurement method is applied. Caydas (<strong>20</strong>08) used the grey relational analysis to<br />

optimize multiple performance characteristics. In this study, the laser cutting parameters such as laser power and<br />

cutting speed were optimized. The response table for each level <strong>of</strong> the machining parameters were obtained from<br />

grey relational grade. Pan (<strong>20</strong>07) demonstrated the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> optimizing multiple performance measures<br />

using taguchi method and grey relational analysis. The calculation <strong>of</strong> grey relational grade helped to quantify the<br />

integrated performance <strong>of</strong> multiple performance measures required in laser welding. Lin and Lin (<strong>20</strong>02)<br />

optimized the multiple performance characteristics in wire electrical discharge machining by combining the<br />

orthogonal array and grey relational analysis. P. N. Singh (<strong>20</strong>04) employed orthogonal array with grey relational<br />

analysis to optimize the multiple performance characteristics <strong>of</strong> electrical discharge machining. Confirmation<br />

result shows that there is considerable improvement in the process.<br />

4. Conclusions<br />

This paper presents the application <strong>of</strong> two optimization approaches namely Taguchi method and grey relational<br />

analysis (GRA). Both approaches have been utilised in many fields to optimize the single and multi performance<br />

characteristics efficiently. Taguchi method is applicable for optimizing the single performance characteristics<br />

while GRA combined with Taguchi method can solve problems having multi performance characteristics. Using<br />

these two approaches, any complex system having multi performance characteristics can be solved efficiently.<br />
