Abstract This research focuses on the development of an object-oriented case-based process planner which combines the advantages of the variant and generative approaches to process planning. The case-based process planner operates on general 3D prismatic parts, represented by a collection of features (eg: slots, pockets, holes, etc.). Each feature subplan is developed by the case-based planner. Then the feature subplans are combined into the global process plan for the part via a hierarchical plan merging mechanism. Abstracted feature subplans correspond to cases, which are used in subsequent planning operations to solve new problems. The abstracting and storing of feature subplans as cases is the primary mechanism by which the planner learns from its previous experiences to become more effective and efficient. The computer-aided process planner is designed to be extensible and flexible through the effective use of object-oriented principles.

Proses perancangan pembuatan adalah berkaitan dengan keputusan berdasarkan pemilihan tatarajah yang optimum daripada modul proses untuk pemprosesan bahagian kerja. Untuk pembentukan semula barisan pembuatan bagi pelbagai bahagian kerja, keputusannya dipengaruhi jenis proses yang sedia ada, hubungkait jujukan pemprosesan dan juga aturan pemprosesan bahagian kerja tersebut. Keputusan proses perancangan pembuatan mungkin bercanggah, oleh itu tugasan membuat keputusan perlu mengambil kira cara setemu. Kertas kerja ini membentangkan teknik optima untuk masalah berkaitan proses perancangan pembuatan dalam rangka kerja pembuatan pembentukan semula. Proses MPP dimodelkan sebagai masalah pengoptimuman dan keadah penyelesaian yang diperolehi daripada teknik metahuristik dikenali sebagai simulasi penyepuhlindapan. Fungsi analisis bagi memodel proses perancangan pembuatan adalah berdasarkan pengetahuan mengenai proses dan sistem pembuatan serta kekangan proses. Applikasi bagi pendekatan ini ditunjukkan melalui barisan pembuatan pembentukan semula berbilang tahap siri selari. Keputusan menunjukkan penambahbaik yang signifikasi diperolehi dalam penyelesaian untuk masalah jenis ini dengan menggunakan simulasi penyepuhlindapan. Tambahan pula, teknik metaheuristik berkebolehan untuk mengenal pasti kaedah proses pembuatan yang optima berdasarkan senario pengeluaran yang diberi. Kata kunci: Metaheuristik, simulasi penyepuhlindapan, proses perancangan pembuatan, sistem pembuatan pembentukan semula, senario pembuatan Manufacturing process planning (MPP) is concerned with decisions regarding selection of an optimal configuration for processing parts. For multiparts reconfigurable manufacturing lines, such decisions are strongly influenced by the types of processes available, the relationships for sequencing the processes and the order of processing parts. Decisions may conflict, hence the decision making tasks must be carried out in a concurrent manner. This paper outlines an optimization solution technique for the MPP problem in reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs). MPP is modelled in an optimization perspective and the solution methodology is provided through a metaheuristic technique known as simulated annealing. Analytical functions for modelling MPP are based on knowledge of processes available to the manufacturing system as well as processing constraints. Application of this approach is illustrated through a multistage parallel–serial reconfigurable manufacturing line. The results show that significant improvements to the solution of this type of problem can be gained through the use of simulated annealing. Moreover, the metaheuristic technique is able to identify an optimal manufacturing process plan for a given production scenario. Key words: Metaheuristics, simulated annealing, manufacturing process planning, reconfigurable manufacturing systems, production scenarios

Manufacturing Process Planning

Abstract Many optimization problems, such as manufacturing process planning optimization, are difficult problems due to the large number of potential configurations (process sequences) and associated (process) parameters. In addition, the search space is highly discontinuous and multi-modal. This paper introduces an agent based optimization algorithm that combines stochastic optimization techniques with knowledge based search. The motivation is that such a merging takes advantage of the benefits of stochastic optimization and accelerates the search process using domain knowledge. The result of applying this algorithm to computerized manufacturing process models is presented.
