    Notes: Abstract: Research into the development and impacts of expert systems has accumulated to a point where it may be said to constitute a distinct field of study. As such, the evolution, organisation and dissemination of expert system research are themselves topics for investigation. Here we focus on the dissemination aspect, providing objective rankings of journals that have had the greatest impacts on recent expert system research. Our study examines the citation patterns of all research published in five expert systems journals during the past five years. Over 14 000 citations to more than 800 journals are analysed under two kinds of ranking schemes. These are based on cumulative citation counts and normalised citation counts. The latter adjusts for the number of years a journal article has been available to be cited. The reported rankings will be of interest to all who want to know where scientific developments that influence expert system research are reported: those who conduct, support, evaluate and study expert system research.

    Notes: Abstract: This paper presents a knowledge-based system for task allocation in a network of processors. Since the problem is NP-complete, optimisation techniques are computationally prohibitive and impractical. Our approach reduces computational burden by using (1) a two-level hierarchical scheduling model to alleviate the problem complexity, and (2) a search strategy that uses knowledge from the knowledge base to limit the search space to a manageable size. The major goal of our approach is to generate good but not necessarily optimal solutions quickly. The system is implemented on a Sun SPARCstation 1 + using Common Lisp. Our computational experience in using this system for task allocation indicates that the two-level hierarchical approach generates better schedules in shorter computational time than a non-hierarchical approach.

    Notes: Purpose - The purpose of this research paper is to discuss cellular manufacturing is discussed under conditions of changing product demand. Traditional cell formation procedures ignore any changes in demand over time from product redesign and other factors. However given that in today's business environment, product life cycles are short, a framework is proposed that creates a multi-period cellular layout plan including cell redesign where appropriate. Design/methodology/approach - The framework is illustrated using a two-stage procedure based on the generalized machine assignment problem and dynamic programming. This framework is conceptually compared to virtual cell manufacturing, which is useful when there is uncertainty in demand rather than anticipated changes in demand. A case study is used to explain how the concept would work in practice. Findings - One major characteristic of the proposed method is that it is flexible enough to incorporate existing cell formation procedures. It is shown through an example problem that the proposed two-stage method is better than undergoing ad hoc layout changes or ignoring the demand changes when shifting or cell rearrangement costs exist. It also sheds some insight into cellular manufacturing under dynamic conditions. Originality/value - This paper should be useful to both researchers and practitioners who deal with demand changes in cellular manufacturing.

    Notes: Illustrates how quality function deployment (QFD) can be used tomeasure customer satisfaction in educational institutions. Specifically,utilizes QFD in evaluating the MBA programme at Grand Valley StateUniversity. The inputs for the QFDs were obtained through severalbrainstorming sessions of MBA students, faculty members, administrators,and business people. The preliminary results of the pilot field testshow that QFD is a very useful tool in ascertaining customer desires,prioritizing them, and directing organizational resources towardscustomer satisfaction.

    Notes: Technical specifications may not in themselves guarantee that a customer's requirements will be consistently met, if there happen to be any deficiencies in the specifications or in the organizational system designed to produce the product or service. It was in this context that the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) started its work on quality standardization. Offers an overview of the key concepts underlying the quality management and quality assurance standards that have come to be known as the "ISO 9000 series". Presents the main themes of the ISO 9000 literature followed by a case study of a large manufacturing organization that has recently achieved the ISO 9000 certification. Explains the eight-step process used by the company to achieve its registration. Although the certification process was lengthy and the documentation extensive, ISO can help the company gain substantial operational and financial benefits.

    Notes: Presents an object-oriented system for scheduling in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) with the purpose of demonstrating how the control aspects of such a system can be enhanced by using metalevel planning. Represents the objects and metaknowledge of the system using an object-oriented approach. The resulting system gives a clear, complete and comprehensive picture of the FMS environment, as well as a modular, flexible and interactive control mechanism to generate and maintain detailed FMS production schedules.

    Notes: Cellular manufacturing is a layout approach to increaseproductivity in manufacturing. The basic concept of cellularmanufacturing is to exploit the similarity between parts andmanufacturing processes. Parts similar in design and manufacture aregrouped into families. Then machines are identified to process partfamilies. In the literature, the problem is studied using twoapproaches: standard and generalized formulations. Compares theeffectiveness of cluster analysis techniques for both formulations.

    Notes: Proposes a two-stage procedure to design a group technology system.Formulates a 0-1 quadratic programming model to allocate machines tomachine cells and a criterion to form corresponding part families forgroup technology. The majority of current approaches assume only onecopy of a machine type for allocation. This model allows for more thanone copy of a machine type. While many approaches use a general integerprogramming package to solve the group technology problem, proposes atwo-stage procedure based on A* algorithm. Computationalexperience of the proposed algorithm is also reported.
