A rule-based master production scheduling system for an electro-mechanical manufacturing company

摘要

It is a hard process to modify master production schedule in a firm having various types of products and final assembly groups. Therefore, the system should automatically make the needed and proper modifications when they are input. Besides, it is of great importance to the firm to remove the errors of demand forecasting so as not to reject customer orders. In this study, a rule-based system for an electromechanical manufacturing company, which is able to rearrange the master production schedule, is presented. This system will provide considerable easiness of use in the master production scheduling activities.
