This paper highlights the importance of integration between process planning and scheduling in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). An effective integration increases the potential for enhanced system performance and enhanced decision making. A framework that integrates flexible process plans with off-line (predictive) scheduling in FMS is presented The flexibility in process planning, including process flexibility, sequence flexibility, and alternative machine tools, is discussed. The proposed framework consists of four integrated stages with the objective of reducing the completion time. The integrated stages include:

A fractal conductivity-based approach to mobile sensor networks in a potential field Sedat, Nazlibilek; Aydan, Erkmen (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-06-01) This paper presents the design of multi-robots or multiple mobile sensors and gives the results of the team behavior of them in a potential field in a collaborative manner. The aim is to prove the concept of the fractal conductivity-based approach to mobile sensor networks in a potential field. We attempted to create multi-robots having similar inherent nature, similar background knowledge, and the same mission as relevant bodies, the creation of some sort of attraction force between them is achieved with t...
An intelligent process planning system for prismatic parts using STEP features Amaitik, Saleh M.; Kilic, S. Engin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-01-01) This paper presents an intelligent process planning system using STEP features (ST-FeatCAPP) for prismatic parts. The system maps a STEP AP224 XML data file, without using a complex feature recognition process, and produces the corresponding machining operations to generate the process plan and corresponding STEP-NC in XML format. It carries out several stages of process planning such as operations selection, tool selection, machining parameters determination, machine tools selection and setup planning. A h...
Job shop scheduling using fuzzy logic Bilkay, O; Anlagan, O; Kilic, SE (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-04-01) In a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) scheduling problems become extremely complex, even for simple breakdowns, when dynamic uncertainties such as machine breakdowns and the uncertain arrival of jobs are taken into consideration. In the first stage of this study, a fuzzy logic-based algorithm for assigning priorities to part types that are to be machined is proposed. In the second stage, an operation-machine allocation and scheduling algorithm is presented. A criteria contribution equalizer is used in de...
Role of system architecture in architecture in developing new drafting tools Sorguç, Arzu (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2005-06-01) In this study, the impact of information technologies in architectural design process is discussed. In this discussion, first the differences/nuances between the concept of software engineering and system architecture are clarified. Then, the design process in engineering, and design process in architecture has been compared by considering 3-D models as the center of design process over which the other disciplines involve the design. It is pointed out that in many high-end engineering applications, 3-D soli...
Integration needs and consistency evaluation for requirement analysis in CIM development Kayaligil, S; Hashemipour, M (Inderscience Publishers, 2001-01-01) Computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) offers many unprecedented opportunities, but also unique challenges to undertake in getting the existing fully (or even partially) manual applications adapted. These difficulties in general multiply if the transition takes place in SME, especially on the overall company scale. Requirement analysis is the initiation task in such projects, and undoubtably the most critical in getting a useful conceptual model of what to expect at the very end.
