Enhancing manufacturing productivity through the design and development of expert systems

Roth, Donald Allan

Abstract Details

1992, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (Engineering and Technology).

The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate Expert Systems as a type of Artificial Intelligence technology and demonstrate how these systems can enhance manufacturing efficiency. Brief descriptions of some technologies involved with Artificial Intelligence and fundamental schemes of knowledge representation are presented.

Three applications are discussed, covering the development cycle of one application. Choosing appropriate applications and development software are covered. Knowledge engineering and development of code will be detailed using an actual application.

Conclusions and recommendations on the three programs will demonstrate the strengths of Expert System technology and the commitment and support needed to insure a useful system. Analysis of the program development will exemplify the methodology of Expert System technology.
