Abstract

Ford Motor Company´s Direct Labor Management System (DLMS) is the knowledge-based subsystem of complex multiphase manufacturing process planning system. DLMS is a deployed production system that is used daily by Ford Body and Assembly Division personnel in the performance of their duties. The knowledge used to drive the assembly planning system is stored in a knowledge base that is based on the KL-ONE knowledge representation system. This paper discusses the use of KL-ONE in an application-oriented environment and gives a “report from the field” of KL-ONE in production use. Advantages and disadvantages of using KL-ONE to represent a dynamic, large-scale conceptual framework for process planning is discussed
