Abstract:

The article presents stages and examples of processing production knowledge for building knowledge management system (KMS). Decision problems in the technological preparation of production are presented. The identification of knowledge concerning the analysis of the problems of a heuristic character leads to an elaboration scheme associated with the design processes. At the stage of the knowledge conceptualization, decision trees, that graphically reflect the decision-making, are elaborated. The condition of proper knowledge formalization is to present the relationship between input information and output information about of the production processes. To meet this condition, appropriate methods of knowledge representation have been elaborated. In the paper the production knowledge implementation basing on the usage of the decision tables concept was emphasized. Examples of classical decision tables used in the design of technological processes are presented. In the structures of tables, developed decision rules describing production knowledge.
