Towards the application of case based reasoning to decision-making in concurrent product development (concurrent engineering)

A multidisciplinary implementation methodology for knowledge based engineering: KNOMAD

“…These streams differ primarily on their intended functionality. Though systems from these streams can be based upon a shared knowledge base that captures explicit and tacit knowledge in the organization, in practice the differences in intended functionality will put different requirements on the knowledge base content (Van der Laan and van Tooren (2005), Alavi and Leidner (2001), Haque, Belecheanu, Barson, and Pawar (2000), Kitamura et al (2004)) and will result in different spectra in using the same knowledge base (Fig. 1).…”

“…Case-Based Reasoning (Haque et al, 2000) or Rule-Based approaches (Er & Dias, 2000), (Mitchell et al, 1990) are frequently used to construct Expert Systems. In general, Expert Systems supply critical knowledge towards the user and/or offer explicit advice, but frequently the user still has to process, analyse and decide based upon the offered knowledge source(s) or knowledge inferences.…”

Group-based ER–AHP system for product project screening

“…Another cause of uncertainty is inability of human in making reliable judgments. Some others (like Cooper, 1985;Gidel et al, 2005;Haque, Belecheanu, Barson, & Pawar, 2000;Linton et al, 2002, etc. ) criticized the screening approaches that are based on judgments of managers.…”

“…For instance, in the concurrent engineering approach to NPD, team members from different functional units jointly make decisions to screen and select projects (Farris, Groesbeck, Van Aken, & Letens, 2006;Haque et al, 2000;Harker & Vargas, 1987;Hsu et al, 2003;Winner, Pennell, Bertrand, & Slusarzuk, 1988). However, the members usually do not have expertise or knowledge in all the aspects of the screening criteria.…”

Accelerating preliminary eco-innovation design for products that integrates case-based reasoning and TRIZ method

“…, product design (Goel and Murdock, 1996;Purvis and Pu, 1998;Haque et al, 2000;Belecheanu et al, 2003;Wu et al, 2006), and creative design (Gero, 1990;Goel, 1997;Gomes et al, 2006). In eco-design, Zeid et al (1997) developed a system that utilizes CBR to solve planning for disassembly problems.…”
