Description
Summary:This paper looks into a new area for knowledge-based system application, that of manufacturing modelling. Manual generation of IDEFO models of manufacturing systems is time-consuming and inconsistent. However, the process can be automated to improve timeliness and consistency. In this paper, a knowledge-based manufacturing modelling system for the automatic generation of IDEFO models is proposed. The system will not only greatly reduce the time of IDEFO modelling but also eliminate the inconsistency problem of conventional IDEFO modelling systems. The paper explains the knowledge-based approach and identifies the kinds of domain knowledge that are required for the construction of the knowledge-based manufacturing modelling system.
