Abstract: Increasing cost of consumable materials has put an enormous pressure on the estimating as well as the cost-effectiveness of an organization. Therefore, without any conciliation on quality, the unpredictable cost has to be reduced. This demands novel intellectual and creativity for constant improvement in manufacture, resulting in good earnings. Rim is an important component for any wheel and manufacturing of rim involves various stages with each stage involving different machines. The basic idea of the research is to identify the causes of tool failure in edge cutting machine and to find solution for the identified causes. Edge cutting machine is specially used in earthmovers unit for the production of rims for earthmover wheels. The existing tool was replaced with the new tool made of shearing resistant material. The new tool is designed and analysed for production purpose and cost variation are successfully compared.
