The paper discusses Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) and machine learning methods, such as neural networks and a decision tree. SMED is one of lean production methods for reducing waste in the manufacturing process, which helps to reorganize a conversion of the manufacturing process from current to the next product. SMED needs set-up activity analyses, which include activity classification, working time measurement and work improvement. The analyses presented in the article are focused on selecting the time measurement method useful from the SMED perspective. Time measurement methods and their comparison are presented in the paper. Machine learning methods are used to suggest the method of time measurement which should be applied in a particular case of workstation reorganization. A training set is developed and an example of classification is presented. Time and motion study is one of important methods of estimating machine changeover time. In the field of time study, researchers present the obtained results by using (linear) multi-linear regression models (MLR), and (non-linear) multi-layer perceptrons (MLP). The presented approach is particularly important for the enterprises which offer make-to-order products. Development of the SMED method can influence manufacturing cost reduction of customized products. In variety oriented manufacturing, SMED supports flexibility and adaptability of the manufacturing system.

Product and process design is time- and cost consuming [15]. To reduce the cost of product development, it is necessary to integrate product and process design. The proposed product planning approach integrates activities involved in product design and manufacturing process. The aim of this paper is to develop a method of knowledge integration about customer needs, product and process characteristics. The range of analyses is limited to mechanical product type manufacturing for institutional customers. Customer needs are focused on functional characteristics of the product and the trade characteristics include product price, timing and warranty. Integration of functional requirements, product and process characteristics is needed to select the best product from a catalogue and adapt it to particular customer needs. From the given set of products, where a product is described by a set of attributes, the subset is chosen which roughly satisfies customer needs. Basing on artificial intelligent (AI) methods, data related to redesign and production processes is estimated.
In the product configuration problem of mechanical product type reliability is one of the most important requirements. Product adjustment to customer expectations, which mean product customization, decides about its commercial success. Development of methods helpful in the early phase of product design is needed to product customization. The early phase of design problems is focused on deriving the optimal solution that satisfies some objective functions like e.g. reliability. The proposed product decomposition method and system reliability estimation were presented.

In this paper problem of optimisation design process is developed. There was shown how the process production preparation is changing. The latter part of the article is devoted to discuss the possible applications of Genetic Algorithm in optimisation of engineering design process. Product development and design are directly connected with the enterprise strategy and the marketing research results. The designer is to create new products or to modify the old ones according to the marketing department's demand. The product must fulfil the requested technical parameters, but also the demands concerning the economical production, quality and reliability. A company, to be competitive must continuously improve its products and processes. The development of company can be realized using its own human potential, or using transfer of technique. The transfer of technique can be realized using formal or informal methods. The formal methods are for example: purchase of licence, patents, use of consulting firm. The informal methods are: exchange of technical staff, conferences, trade, exhibition, professional training. Design process is a halfway between research process and routine organization procedure of production preparation. Development and research work is connected with uncertainty and risk. Risk is connected with internal and external factors. Internal factors include: human mistakes, information computing mistakes, machine failure. The external factors include change of law. atmospheric conditions. To prepare the plan of research work activity we can use one of the following methods: CPM, CPM-COST, PERT, PERT-COST, GERT, but only GERT respects risk and uncertainty of activity. In this paper was shown haw to join GERT and Genetic Algorithm.

The paper presents methodology of time standard determination concerned with design and production part of machine. Presented methodology is used to determination of cost and term of process production. This methodology is especially important in medium and small batch production methods in machine industry. Market economy conditions force actions upon enterprises. aiming at quality improvement, production cycle shortening and cost reduction. To reach this goal it's necessary to determine precise operational times, on the base of which we can establish the costs of operations to be carried out. Good organization is determined by extend of using of enterprise resources such as material, human, machine, finance, information. The uses of schedule based on time standard well prepared help to manage the production process. This is especially important in small and medium batch production methods. In these conditions it is necessary to design a lot of different construction. In this situation methods of work measurement based on analytical estimating have greater meaning opposed to conventional ones, which use more time and has a larger cost. Methods of work measurement, known from literature, aren't sufficient. Enterprise aided computer systems need a new fast and easy to use methods of work measurement. Traditional work measurement methods are too difficult and expensive in case of small and medium batch production. Majority of methods of work measurement are useful in case of production task. But a lot of task realized particularly in technical production preparation can't measure easy. This kind of work is characterized by: variable of tasks, no repeatable conditions, long term realization, determined by a lot of factors, a lot of conceptual work. For this kind of job can't use the conventional method of work measurement based on time study. It's necessary to create a new method based on artificial intelligence methods. There are lot of methods considering an artificial intelligence methods. Author used the pattern recognition based on neural network. Those methods characterized by "teach yourself" procedures, considered continuous changes in enterprise. To determine work time standards for composed tasks determined by many conditions we can use the pattern recognition. Pattern recognition consists on allocation of a target to appropriate class. This classification realized use lo neural network. Neural network is based on model of human nerve cell. Neural network opposed to sequence data processing enables parallel data processing. Based on presented model a new method of work measurement has been elaborated. A new method of work measurement may be based on following steps. 1. Definition of purpose of time standards, for example for planning, wages... It does determine the accuracy (confidence interval) of created time standards. In this step important time kinds must be chosen. 2. Definition coefficients determining the labor consumption. Coefficients for design task are for example: use of computer aided calculation in engineering design, use of computer aided drawing in engineering design: novelty level of design problem, complexity level of solved design problem stage of primary documentation, human factor, organizational conditions connected with documentation management, kind of design work. 3. Creation of time grades. All task of design department are classified to particular time grades. One time grade includes tasks of similar labour consumption. 4. Building of database. Create teaching sets containing tasks which were done in the past and which are characterized by coefficient described in step 2. 5. The classifications of new task to grade of set use to for example neural network and determine labour consumption of new one. 6. Use of planned labour consumption to purpose. Example of using neural network to determine time standard. Example of using neural network for lime standard determination based on integration artificial intelligence packet SPHiNX2.3. Neural network enable to determine planned labour-consumption for work, which has not been carried out so far. With the aid of systematic completing of database, definition of labour-consumption will be more precise. There will be taken into consideration changes occurring m enterprise as for example- greater experience of employees, better software and hardware conversion. The first stage connected with elaboration of teaching set is more difficult and more responsible. Correct system's operation depends on quality of data, that's way participation of experts in creating the primary set is necessary. The results can be the base for development and implementation of neural network supporting management of project departments in machine industry.
