Abstract

Assembly design decision making is to provide a solution of currently violating design by evaluating assembly design alternatives with the consideration of the assembly design decision (ADD) criteria and of the causal interactions with manufacturing-environmental factors. Even though existing assembly design support systems have a systematic mechanism for determining the decision-criterion weight, the system still has a limitation to capture the interactions between manufacturing-environmental factors and ADD criteria. Thus, we introduce in this paper, Bayesian belief networks (BBN) for the representation and reasoning of the manufacturing-environmental knowledge. BBN has a sound mathematical foundation and reasoning capability. It also has an efficient evidence propagation mechanism and a proven track record in industry-scale applications. However, it is less friendly and flexible, when used for knowledge acquisition. In this paper, we propose a methodology for the indirect knowledge acquisition, using fuzzy cognitive maps, and for the conversion of the representation into BBN.
