| Abstract | Space Planning involves typically , the organizations of the space under a set of constraints , to meet a given set of specifications. It appears possible to model the whole problem mathematically and optimize certain criteria functions . However , this approach needs clear definition of the problem domain and precise measurement of various parameters involved. In practice, none of these are feasible. Moreover, even when h e parameters are identified , there remains the issue of search in a large problem space. In this study, some of the well known approaches to the space planning problems are reviewed . The expert on the space planning is usually guided by the heuristics which are acquired through experience. This effort is towards building a knowledge based system to capture such heuristics. The study describes how a knowledge management .approach could b e considered for solving space planning problems. In particular we look at this problem in the l ight of organizing a shop floor in a typical Wire Rope Industry . A LISP based s y stem is developed as a prototype. |
