Sažetak
The traditional approach to the process planning mostly based on experience of technologists, requires a lot of accumulated knowledge, is inflexible and time consuming. The application of artificial intelligence methods can support and greatly improve this approach. The paper describes the results obtained by investigating the application of neural networks in evaluating the manufacturing parameters and, indirectly, technological time of the seam tube polishing. Various structures of a back-propagation neural network have been analysed and the optimal one with the minimum RMS error selected. The obtained model was integrated into the ERP system (Enterprise Resource Planning system) of a manufacturing company. The more precise evaluations of technological time obtained by the ERP system model complete the previously defined manufacturing operations and form the basis for production planning and times of delivery control. The work of technologists is thus made easier and the production preparation technological time made shorter.
