Decision making for machine tool selection is intractable work of managers due to the factors involving the vague and imprecise information. The degree of hesitation is considered in the experts judgment. In this paper, an integration of the intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) Entropy and TOPSIS method are utilized to solve the vague information for decision-making process in machine tool selection. In particular, the weights of criteria are calculated by the IF Entropy and the TOPSIS is employed to determine the priority of alternative. The results of the numerical example show this integration is practical and easy to use for engineers and managers in the companies.

In today's era, managerial decision making has become a very momentous component due to the leverage of attention on achieving organizational goal i.e. enhancing effective utilization of input assets, satisfying customers' demand and minimizing loss (maximize profit). The evaluation of the most appropriate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tool has become one of the key factors for sustaining the organization/manufacturing sectors/production units at competitive global market place. Productivity, precision and accuracy etc. are the most important issues behind adaptation/exploration of CNC machine tools. So, in such a cases, subjective indices are considered beside the objective indices and complexity of the CNC machine tool evaluation decision problems is solved via subjective assessments (judgment) of expert panel, also called the decision-making group. In this reporting, TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution) based Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach has fruitfully applied to emphasize the decision making scenario at the subjective information evaluation index (indices) platform. So, TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) analytical methodology conjunction with Trapezoidal Fuzzy Number (TFN) has been explored for assessing and benchmarking the most preferable CNC machine tool from a group of preferred options/alternatives. Finally, an empirical case study has been carried out check the feasibility, efficiency and validity of proposed methodology and the benchmarking of preferred alternative machine tool has been derived in accordance with descending value of the ‘collective index'. Higher value of ‘collective index' reflects higher degree of performance extent.

Aims: Uncertainty modeling to study possibility of proposing several remanufacturing alternatives of conventional lathe into CNC machine tool. Study Design: Conventional lathe into CNC machine remanufacturing-upgrading experience is used to project the suitable literature comparatively to construct uncertainty modeling. Faults modes of conventional lathe are studied to propose different remanufacturing solution based on faults literature viewpoints in field of lathe remanufacturing-upgrading, which are reviewed and modified to accommodate new changes that can accompany the current case study. Place and Duration of Study: Middle Technical University, Institute of Technology-Baghdad, Mechanical Techniques Department, between January 2020 and July 2020. Methodology: Decision making for selection of remanufactured alternatives and remanufacturing portfolio alternatives in field of lathe remanufacturing are reviewed. Experience in field of lathe remanufacturing is exploited to remodeling of existence models to optimize a remanufactured lathe into CNC machine as a case study. Methodology can be concluded into:- Literature survey to find two paths of: Faults and their statutes study. Remanufacturing portfolio study. Literature re-presentation and modeling. Literature results graphical modeling. Mathematical modeling of remanufacturability. Restoration alternative modeling Modeling of uncertainty. Results: Emerged technology aided conventional lathe into CNC lathe remanufacturing alternative exhibits good behavior of criteria toward optimization. While Advanced technology aided conventional lathe into CNC lathe remanufacturing alternative exhibits behavior to be of interesting ability to be a reservoir of developing potentials. Conventional technology aided conventional lathe remanufacturing alternative is of lower potentials to be developed into optimum solution. Conclusion: Remanufacturing-upgrading of conventional lathe into CNC machine in its mechanical part, it is merely traditional remanufacturing process of conventional lathe. Developing potentials can include that gearbox can be eliminated due to use of motorized axis, feed rod and lead screws, in both forward and transvers directions, can be replaced with motorized ball screws. Also tool post can be replaced with automatic tool changer while dovetail guide ways and saddles can be reused. Comparative literature based analysis and experience based analysis for uncertainty reduction can substitute the leak of relevant data acquisition for decision-making in field of remanufacturing. Uncertainty reduction modeling can enable simplify certain difficulties, the calculation of some criteria and adopting of simplified analysis methods so that theoretic and practical gap can be directed towards certain actual conditions to reach the optimum solution.

This paper presents some simulation based upon a dynamic model of a feed-drive within the structure of a CNC machine tool. A DC servomotor was considered as actuation device for the feed drive. For a given set of parameters for the position controller, two fuzzy types of fuzzy controllers were tested by means of simulation. The first fuzzy controller was a proportional one, with one input and one output, while the second one was a two variables one, with two inputs and one outputp.
