Abstract

In the context of the cost estimation, the use of a case based reasoning system is an interesting solution. However the creation of case corresponding to a mechanical part to estimate a more general problem resolution doesn´t require the opinion of only one expert, but a consensus of several experts and for extended enterprises it may be difficult since the experts aren´t necessary at the same place. Traditionally the filling of a case base is done with several interviews of experts. We thus defined a case creation method by obtaining consensus of a group of experts, as well as the procedures which would make it possible to associate it with a case based reasoning system
