Evaluation and design: a knowledge-based approach

Abstract

HAL is a multidisciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.

Concurrent product configuration and process planning: Some optimization experimental results

“…On the production planning side, the criteria could be cycle time and process cost. Most of the time, product performance is case-dependent, as explained in [20] and can characterize various product parameters, such as speed, power, energy consumption, etc. Cycle time matches the ending date of the last production operation of the configured product.…”

How to take into account piecewise constraints in constraint satisfaction problems

“…According to heat treatment experts (David et al, 2003), distortions can result from any kind of choice relevant to the definition of the heat treatment operation. Consequently, the resulting constraints model is composed of four sets of variables relevant to: (i) the geometry of the part, (ii) the material of the part, (iii) the resources required by the operation and (iv) the distortion characteristics (Vareilles et al, 2007). The constraints linking these variables correspond with compatibility tables and mathematical expressions but also with 2D experimental graphs such as the one shown in Fig.…”

Towards a Metric Between Engineering to Order and Assemble/Make to Order Products in Configuration Situations

“…Following previous works achieved by the main authors of the configuration domain as Mittal and Frayman [3], Soininen et al [4], Vareilles et al [5] or Yang and Dong [6], we consider the following formal definition of a product configuration.…”
