Neural networks applications in manufacturing processes

Abstract Advanced manufacturing systems are becoming too complex and dynamic for traditional rule-based decision support systems. Neural network technology application is gathering momentum in all aspects of manufacturing processes. This paper overviews the technology and surveys the literature on its application in manufacturing processes.
