A Hybrid Expert System for Estimation of the Manufacturability of a Notional Design
| Type | Use | Example |
| Fuzzy | Capturing subjectivity precisely | How mature is the primary manufacturing process? | Multiple choice | Capturing categorical or ordinal information | Is the primary material/component available in this state, an adjacent one, the nation as a whole, or only internationally? | Binary | Capturing yes/no-true/false information | Is a “high-bay” required in the core manufacturing facility? | Simple numerical | Capturing a number in a range | How many times does the mode of conveyance (ex: sea, land) of the primary material/component change (ex: at a port)? |
