Abstract

Automotive body assembly design in conceptual design stage is a complex group decision-making process which involves knowledge communications and projects selections. Ontology is a useful tool to abstract vague and linguistic knowledge. In this paper, a project-handling module based decision-making ontology model (PMDOM) is proposed to accelerate communication of decision-making and help for the selection of projects. Based on PMDOM, an automotive body assembly domain ontology model is set up and the decision-making support system (DSS) has been implemented by using JAVA. It shows that the DSS with PMDOM is better than others without PMDOM.
