Abstract: | Production management, in batch type manufacturing environment, is regarded by the current research community as a very complex
task. This paper claims that the complexity is a result of the system approach where management performance relies on decisions
made at a too early stage in the manufacturing process. Decisions are made and stored in company databases by engineers who
are neither economists nor production planner’s experts. This paper presents a new method where engineer’s task is not to
make decisions but rather to prepare a knowledge-based “road map”. The road map method does introduce flexibility and dynamics
in the manufacturing process and thus simplifies the decision making process in production planning. Each user will generate
a routine that meets his/her needs at the time of needs by using KBMS CAPP. Thereby this method increases dramatically manufacturing
efficiency. |
