Özet

With the integration of computer-aided design and computer-aided production, furniture industry enterprises seem to have problems such as not being able to fully use their existing production capacities and needing qualified personnel. In this context, the issue of machine selection for small-scale enterprises that make order-type production, based on the principle that a rational investment goes through the selection of the appropriate machine, has been examined. As it is known, unlike traditional machines, operators who will use CNC machines are expected to have basic CNC knowledge, at least enough PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) knowledge to change some settings, and the features of the machine they will use. In addition, the work to be done, the capacity of the enterprise, the desired quality from the product, the compatibility with other machines, the selection of machines that are not suitable for the production style, the presence of machines that cannot be used as they should and are kept in idle position to be evaluated in a different way cause great problems for the enterprise. Considering the intensity in our country, in this research, a small-capacity panel furniture manufacturer that makes order-type production is examined; machine types that stand out for three main processes such as panel sizing, edge banding and hole drilling are included. For this purpose, regardless of whether the panel furniture production is CNC, PLC controlled or conventional for the machine line, the machine type has been selected. In the study, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), which is one of the multi-criteria decision making methods, was used as a method. As a result, a suitable machine type or machine type combinations are suggested for small-scale furniture businesses.
