In the present time of innovation, conveyor assume an exceptionally indispensable part and have huge signi cance for material handling in different enterprises. A conveyor is essentially utilized for moving any sort of material from one area to other. It is made with nearer precisions, hence the expense related with manufacturing is additionally high. In this manner, it should work with better productivity. The choice of the best conveyor is a crucial activity for designers. Designers need to recognize different variables that will in uence the functionalities of the conveyor system to limit bottlenecks in the system. Therefore, an e cient methodology should be accomplished for the conveyor selection. Subsequently, the current work aims to the selection process of the best option for conveyor by using four decision making methods such as analytical hierarchy process, technique of order preference by similarity to ideal solution, compromise ranking method and Deng's similarity based method. The selection is done among four alternatives based on six attributes viz: xed cost each hour, variable cost each hour, conveyor speed, product width, product weight and exibility. The analytical hierarchy process is used to determine weights of the attributes based on relative importance of each attribute. It is also observed that A3 conveyor is best suitable conveyor. Hence the above proposed strategies help decision-makers to examine and choose the best conveyor by considering the rank obtained of the alternatives.

Power presses are used for the simple, accurate, and economical production of large quantities of articles quickly, accurately, and economically from the cold working of mild steel and other ductile materials. The components produced range over an extremely wide field and are used throughout the industry. Sometimes the pressings may be complicated and more than one pressing operation may be required. The press purpose is to shift one or more sources and movements to a tool or to die to shape or blanch a piece of work. Press design calls for the application of special knowledge about the production process. The press is designed either to perform a specific process or for primarily universal use. The manufacturing process for the metal formation is almost chip less. To perform these tasks Press tools are used. Job component deformation to the desired size is achieved by applying pressure. Presses are regarded as the best and most efficient way of shaping sheet metal into finished products. Pneumatic presses are widely used for operations such as punching, grinding, molding, clinching, blanking, deep drawing, and metal shaping.
