Abstract In this paper, there is presented the problem of assessing the manufacturability of complex products at the design stage of the manufacturing process considering the criterion of execution of assembly operations processes and production costs. Assessment of manufacturability was given on the example of the Boothroyd & Dewhurst method. This paper describes how to estimate the times and costs of assembly operations according to the mentioned above criteria with the use of the expert system. The presented example illustrates its practical application. The method of analysis presented in this article, developed by the authors, will be the subject of further research aimed at creation of an advanced expert system supporting the design of assembly systems.
