Computational Intelligence in Design and Manufacturing

Computational Intelligence in Design and Manufacturing

Take the next step in Integrated Product and ProcessDevelopment

This pioneering book is the first to apply state-of-the-artcomputational intelligence techniques to all phases ofmanufacturing system design and operations. It equips engineerswith a superior array of new tools for optimizing their work inIntegrated Product and Process Development.

Drawing on his extensive experience in the field of advancedmanufacturing, Andrew Kusiak has masterfully embedded coverage ofdata mining, expert systems, neural networks, autonomous reasoningtechniques, and other computational methods in chapters that coverall key facets of integrated manufacturing system design andoperations, including:
* Process planning
* Setup reduction
* Production planning and scheduling
* Kanban systems
* Manufacturing equipment selection
* Group technology
* Facilities and manufacturing cell layout
* Warehouse layout
* Manufacturing system product and component design
* Supplier evaluation

Each chapter includes questions and problems that address keyissues on model integration and the use of computationalintelligence approaches to solve difficulties across many areas ofan enterprise. Examples and case studies from real-world industrialprojects illustrate the powerfulapplication potential of thecomputational techniques.

Comprehensive in scope and flexible in approach, ComputationalIntelligence in Design and Manufacturing is right in step with theenterprise of the future: extended, virtual, model-driven,knowledge-based, and integrated in time and space. It is essentialreading for forward-thinking students and professional engineersand managers working in design systems, manufacturing, and relatedareas.
