Abstract:
-
The material and manufacturing process selection problem is a multi-attribute decision making problem.
These decisions are made during the preliminary design stages in an environment characterized by imprecise
and uncertain requirements, parameters, and relationships. Material and process selection decisions must
occur before design for manufacturing can begin. Thiover the decision factors. A compatibility rating between the product profile requirements and the
alternatives stored in the database for each decision criteria is generated using possibility theory. The vector

advantages over existing systems that either do not have a decision module or are not integrated with a
database.s are aggregated into a single rating of that alternatives paper describes a prototype material and
manufacturing process selection system called MAMPS that integrates a formal multi-attribute decision
model with a relational database. The decision model enables the representation of the designer's preferences over the decision factor.
