Abstract: This paper deals with the production planning of a manufacturing system based on a dry machining process, which is considered a “green process” because it does not require the use of cutting fluids. Two types of raw materials with different prices and environmental impact are considered. The aim is to derive a cost-effective production plan over a specified time frame. Such a plan is achieved through total average cost minimization which incorporates the costs of raw materials, production, energy use, recycling, storage, shortages and CO2 emissions. Demand is taken to be stochastic during the finite time model, consisting of discrete successive production periods. A mathematical model is established that expresses the average total cost as a function of decision variables, which are the quantities of each of the two types of products to be produced in each period. A numerical solving algorithm is devised for the problem at hand and is put to test. To demonstrate how to use the developed format and its consistency, a numerical example is proposed.
