| Summary: | (concepts) and arcs (causal connections). The causal A goal directed simulation method using fuzzy cognitive a relatively new method of collecting and standardizing a set of important manufacturing concepts was identified and analysis of the previous output. Fuzzy cognitive mapping is and the EXSYS expert system shell. All simulation models ascertain estimates of the relevant causal weights in both a associated with traditional manufacturing studies. The FCM- can be used for the analysis and experimental design cognitive map is stored as a bidirectional graph of nodes compared to a traditional response surface methodology in two connections in a fuzzy cognitive map are fuzzy values or decreasing the arrival rate and adding additional machines. end to a simulation language that suggests specific changes environment. Finally, the constructed FCM-GDS system was establish the procedure's usefulness over a wide variety of expert opinion about a problem domain. The information in a GDS system was constructed using the C++ programming language lightly congested flowline and a highly congested job shop. manufacturing situations. mapping (FCM-GDS) is partially developed. The FCM-GDS system Next, a logical procedure for manipulating these causal number of simulation runs required to reach the neighborhood of a predetermined set of goals by 75% when compared to the qualifiers. The research was conducted in four steps. First, response surface method. Additional tests are required to similar experiments. The two simulation models tested were a software. Additional analyses were conducted using Excel spreadsheets. A goal directed system is an intelligent back- the directions of their causal interactions were developed. the limited tests performed, the FCM-GDS system decreased the The specific results of this research were favorable. Over The suggested goals dealt with throughput, cycle time, to variables in the model according to a knowledge-based typical flow line environment and a typical job shop utilization, and cost. The allowable changes involved was formulated. Third, detailed experiments were run to weights in the context of an experimental design framework were constructed and analyzed using ARENA simulation |
