Design and development of a fuzzy expert system for production scheduling
Abstract:
Production scheduling (PSc) is one of the major issues in production planning and control of individual production units which lies on the heart of the performance of manufacturing organizations special in companies that used built to order (BTO) strategy. Artificial Intelligence has been implemented recently in many engineering areas to solve their problems and improve performance. This paper presents a fuzzy expert system (FES) for implementing the PSc and
shows how a knowledge-base system (KBS) technology and fuzzy logic (FL) can assist in company to have a strategic schedule. The authors discuss a FES designed in five stages to assist manufactory to assess priority of each order and send those to the production line in the right time.
