Abstract
Expert systems are widely used in the complex problems involving the symbolic representation of the problems rather than the computational simulation model. Manufacturing systems constitute many aspects of the processes such as scheduling, quality control, shop floor management, logistics, information management systems, etc., inviting the use of the expert system shell. This paper addresses the two problems, i.e., the scheduling in FMS and the inspection level in quality control to be represented in a framework (structure), i.e., EXPERT. The model is designed as a rule based system (i.e., IF and THEN rules) by incorporating different rules relating to the findings to the hypothesis. These findings are gathered through querries directed by control graphs. The model is implemented on a PC-XT using the Turbo-Prolog as the language tool. the confidence factor associates with the hypothesis reflects an attractive feature of the model and the ease of its implementation.
