Ak. Kamrani, AN INTEGRATED KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEM FOR PRODUCT DESIGN FEASIBILITY AND MANUFACTURABILITY ANALYSIS, Computers & industrial engineering, 31(1-2), 1996, pp. 83-86
This article will present the results on the development of a methodol
ogy for a group technology knowledge-based system which will support t
he associativity analysis required for integrated product design and p
rocess planning. The developed methodology will respond to any changes
made to the design features and in turn will predict the process(es)
feasible for the production of the product and the necessary code(s) f
or the retrieval of the associated data with the predicted process(es)
.
