Knowledge‐based Manufacturing:: The Key to Recovery
Abstract
New knowledge‐based manufacturing software, incorporating artificial intelligence techniques, offers benefits to companies whose products are complex, highly varied or made‐to‐order. These are precisely the areas where conventional MRP II (manufacturing resource planning) systems are widely perceived as having failed. To exploit recovery from recession, manufacturers are increasingly concerned to diversify and vary their products to meet customers′ exact needs; therefore they will need to consider knowledge‐based systems.
