5. Conclusion
Optimizing sustainability parameters such as production cost, cutting quality, environmental issues, worker health
and safety issues etc. are very essential for competitive manufacturing. In order to optimize manufacturing
processes, different parameters are adjusted in order to obtain desirable results. However, due to complex nature of
the manufacturing processes and various interrelated effects of different parameters, it thus becomes difficult to
monitor the changes in outcomes resulting from change in value of parameters. The aim of this research is to
propose a graph-based approach in creating an expert system for analyzing the outcome of different parameter
changes considering manufacturing system, which has been obtained by applying a simplified model based on interrelationships
between different parameters.
Regardless of this, considering two distinctive parameter groups obtained in the study helps in designing the
manufacturing processes conclusively correlated being inter-dependent and having impact on each other.
