b) Critical paths in machine installation and commissioning were also identified and critical path method was
employed in predicting the due date for installation and commissioning procured equipment (a) above;
c) The developed algorithm and software for implementing the critical path method were highly efficient;
d) The predictive model for the prediction of completion time and due-date of machine tools was developed,
because the artificial neural network employed could closely predict values of due-dates having studied the interaction
among imputed values
e) The calculated values were very close to the predicted values for each of the selected machines. Thus it can be
concluded that the training of data set was effectively and successfully carried out and the model is a veritable tool for
prediction of due-date.
f) From all the negligible values gotten from mean square error, it can be inferred that data were properly trained
and the calculated values are not far from the predicted values.
5.2 Recommendations
The following are recommended in case this work may be carried out in future;
1) Emphasis should be made on the application of MATLAB software in Mechanical Engineering courses, as it
offers divers solution to vast problems in the field.
2) The application of this research should be extended to other machine tools
