AutoMOST® knowledge acquisition software captures the knowledge of the industrial engineer
to allow others to set accurate and consistent time standards through an
automated graphical user interface.
AutoMOST® is a Windows-based, object-oriented knowledge acquisition software
tool that uses advanced technology to assist in interviewing, analyzing, and
decision making. The software can provide a user with problem solving
skills comparable to the expert. A knowledge engineer using AutoMOST®
creates decision trees that are converted automatically into a knowledge-based
system, by capturing the expertise of the domain expert. Using this tree, a
non-expert end-user can derive a logical conclusion to a problem through a
end-user session
. When this goal is accomplished, the performance of any one
employee is dramatically increased. Closing the gap between a domain expert
and a less experienced employee provides increased productivity, efficiency,
and quality. The AutoMOST® software is seamlessly linked to Maynard’s
StandardsPro® software.
AutoMOST® uses expert system technology (described above) to automate
the process of creating operations standards and plans. By capturing the knowledge
of the experts in your facility, AutoMOST® allows non-expert individuals to
perform repetitive tasks associated with the maintenance of standards. This leaves
the experts free to perform tasks which require more creative thinking, such
as identifying method and process improvements, thus leading to significant cost
reductions.
