Manufacturability analysis system: issues and future trends

“…On the other hand, approximately 23% of the researches used OOT in developing the MAS (Chen 1995;Amalnik 1996;Amalnik 1998;Gupta 1998;Horvath 1999;Jacquel 2000;Giachetti 2001). OOTs that can be performed on those data.…”

“…Using OOT approach, the analysis is based on the objects and the relations between its subclasses. For example, electrochemical machining is defined as the main object in the manufacturability model and its machining criteria such as workpiece material, electrolyte solution, tool electrode, geometric feature and electrochemical machine are defined as the subclasses (Amalnik 1996;Hayes 1996;Amalnik 1998). This approach has been used for analysing the manufacturability aspects by considering the relationships occurred between the design features and the subclasses stated above.…”

Knowledge based System for Improving Design and Manufacturing Processes for Electrochemical MachiningIn Computer based Concurrent Engineering

“…Expert system utilizes a knowledge base containing facts, data, definitions, and assumptions. They also have the capacity for heuristic approach that is making good judgment on the basis of discovery and revelation, and making high probability guesses just as a human expert would [9] [10]. Researchers developed electrochemical micromachining EMM setup mainly consists of various subcomponents and systems, e.g., mechanical machining unit, micro tooling system, electrical power and controlling system and controlled electrolyte flow system, etc.…”
