Abstract
The paper presents the concept of an intelligent system performing creative FMS design. Development of the intelligent system for FMS design is based on the application of two theories: design theory and theory of reasoning by analogy. Described general design process is based on design axioms. In accordance with axiomatic design concept four levels of intelligent system for FMS design are defined: functional requirements (FRs) definition level, design parameters (DPs) creation level, the level for analysis of design solution, and the level for checking of the final solution. For each level a particular knowledge processing module is defined. Computer software dealing with each one of four levels is also discussed.
