摘要
Process planning is the systematic determination of the detailed methods by which parts can be manufactured from raw material to finished product. In a real manufacturing environment, usually several different parts need to be manufactured in a single facility sharing constrained resources. The existence of alternative process plans for each part makes the selection of process plan a very important issue in manufacturing. The objectives in process plan selection might be imprecise and conflicting. In this paper, a fuzzy approach is used to deal quantitatively with the imprecision of the process plan selection problem. Each process plan is evaluated and its contribution to shopfloor performance is calculated using fuzzy set theory. A progressive refinement approach is used to first identify the set of process plans that maximize the contributions, and then consolidate the set to reduce the manufacturing resources needed.
