Decision Support System of Product Development Based on Multi-agent

In order to improve success rate of new product development, an intelligent decision support system based on multi-agent for new product development is presented. The dialogue layer, problem decomposition layer, control layer and problem solving layer in the decision process are studied; corresponding decision support apply modules are built based on the design idea of decision support system with multistructure through the share of resource and information; the design principles of product development decision support system and general design schemes are proposed. The system is comprised by eight modules of data collection, data management, statistical analysis, breakeven analysis, risk prediction analysis, resource optimization scheduling, expert system and information exchange, and the functions of each module are designed and described, and the solutions of decision based on MAS are proposed.
