Design of Experiments—Statistical and Artificial Intelligence Analysis for the Improvement of Machining Processes: A Review

The modern industry needs that its manufacture process to be fast, efficient, low cost, ecologic, and other. It occurs because many consumers require that the products have great quality and a fair price. Furthermore, in sometimes, the industry has the sale price imposes by client. Thus, the industry develops news techniques, process, tools, and other to attain this goal. However, these new developments require great studies to obtain the best condition and avoid that become more a waste. The Statistical or Artificial Intelligence (AI) Analysis are great ways to understand the new developments and obtain the best conditions. This review chapter presents the techniques (Statistical and AI) that were applied to plan and analyse the machining processes. Aim of this chapter is to argue the planning and analysis importance in researches, as well as help researchers to choose a technique and define their machining experiments, optimising the time, material and other means.
