Human cognition as an intelligent decision support system for plastic products’ design

Decision Support System for Designing with Polymer Materials – Current Challenges and Future Expectations

“…Moreover, Polypropylene can also be tougher than ABS. To sum up, the toughest version of ABS still does not reach the value of the toughest versions of the other three materials (Sancin et al, 2010).…”

Analysing Energy and Material Saving Technologies’ Adoption and Adopters

“…There is also an on-going debate regarding the reasons why profitable investments to reduce energy consumption have not been carried out in companies [13] and [14]. There are several barriers to implementing energy efficiency improvement measures in firms, e. g. payback periods, limited capital, a low priority given to energy efficiency by the management, lack of information, or "difficult-tomeasure components" of energy investments [8] and [15] to [17].…”

Designing a Layout Using the Modified Triangle Method, and Genetic Algorithms

“…Decision making is a very important process, present in various stages of product design [7], workplace design [8] and manufacturing often supported with intelligent algorithms, whose foundation is human cognition of particular field [9]. FLP optimization is even more important in the production environments served by robots, because the complexity of their tasks requires complex robots, thus increasing their potential for failures [10].…”
