Knowledge Acquisition in Production Decision Making Based on Interactive Simulation

Abstract:

In order to acquire high-quality knowledge used in production decision expert systems, a production decision knowledge acquisition method based on interactive simulation was proposed. Key technologies of interactive simulation modeling and expert decision data evaluating were studied in detail. Taking the line switching decision of a motor engine production line as an example, the method was practiced and validated. The case study shows that the data acquisition method based on interactive simulation can effectively optimize the production performance.
