Abstract
This paper explains the development of an expert system benificial assisting in flexible production system design. The expert system can simultaneously examine several kinds of objectives such as machine mechanism functions and machine tool purchasing problems after considering machine precision aspects. In order to decide the multi-objective problems in flexible production system design, the expert system possesses multi-objective evaluation reasoning which incorporates the two-stage reasoning process of elimination reasoning and the comparison of multiplicative utility function values by using knowledge data base. In the comparison certainty equivalents are reasoned by means of if-then rules and forward reasoning.
