Title
Object Knowledge Representation Models for Concurrent Design of FMS
Abstract
A Concurrent Engineering (CE) approach to product development should include simultaneous product, process and facility design. Our research is related with the development of a CE Framework for Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) Design to give a real support to the engineer in his decision making by coupling the Manufacturing Process Planning and the Manufacturing System Design activities. To achieve our aims four different Semantic Data Models based on an object oriented methodology have been developed to represent the inter-related aspects of the product design cycle. Semantic Networks are used to represent the structural and functional relationships within and between the models. Additionally, Constraint-Based and modeling have been used to support a dynamic representation of the process planning and facility models. Finally, we model the design process to generate and evaluate different alternatives to support the designer's quest for superior solutions by changing the set of assumptions and decisions. To achieve these issues paradigms such as Meta-Design and Meta-Planning based on Logic-Based modeling are applied.
