An Artificial Intelligent based System to Automate Decision Making in Assembly Solution Design

Nowadays, competitiveness between industries has become very strong. Thus, industries are faced to serious challenges in terms of products qualities, time development and production cost. As assembly operations difficulties cause a big part of production problems, the integration of assembly selection since the earlier product life cycle phases has become a necessity for every company in order to survive. However, despite the large number of approaches that have been proposed in order to achieve this integration goal, many other problems are still present. It is in this context that a flexible and automated decision making system is proposed. It is based on ontologies and also on the Case Based Reasoning (CBR) and Rule Based Reasoning (RBR) concepts. Indeed, this system is an automation of the integrated DFMMA approach, in particular its assembly solution selection methodology. The developed system permits to designers avoiding the redundancy in the works by benefiting from their previous studies and their experience. In addition to that, it facilitates and automates the assembly solution selection even if the number of assembly alternatives is high. Finally, to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed system, a case of study is developed in the end of the work.
