The research results described are concerned with: - developing a domain modeling method and tools to provide the design and implementation of decision-making support systems for computer integrated manufacturing; - building a decision-making support system based on know-how and its software environment. The research is funded by NEDO, Japan.
In this paper, an attempt is made to systematically discuss the development of simulation systems for manufacturing system design. General requirements on manufacturing simulators are formulated and a framework to address the requirements is suggested. Problems of information representation as an activity underlying simulation are considered. This is to form the necessary mathematical foundation for manufacturing simulations. The theoretical findings are explored through a pilot study. A conclusion about the suitability of the suggested approach to the development of simulation systems for manufacturing system design is made, and implications for future research are described.
This paper investigates the phenomenon of manufacturing know-how. First, the abstract notion of knowledge is discussed, and a terminological basis is introduced to treat know-how as a kind of knowledge. Next, a brief survey of the recently reported works dealt with manufacturing know-how is presented, and an explicit definition of know-how is formulated. Finally, the problem of utilizing know-how with knowledge-based systems is analyzed, and some ideas useful for its solving are given.
